Hey, buddy, wanna buy an Apple? They sure did in Tokyo
Apple Computer has seen sales of its
products revitalized partly by a neat retail strategy, that has seen Apple
stores open in trendy urban shopping areas, such as Chicago's Miracle Mile.
Apple recently opened its first store in Tokyo. Interest in Apple products there is apparently high -- and their customers
are infinitely patient. (Requires QuickTime)
There's a report on the store's opening here and Apple itself has put up some pictures of the Tokyo store. True to Apple's tremendouse sense of aesthetic, the stores look like they should be selling jewellry, not hard drives. They're beautiful.

Hey David -- They have one here in La Jolla, and it's quite cute. Looks like a cross between a Crate & Barrel and a jewelry store -- like an over-lit ceramics outfit, if that makes any sense. Nice places, but can't tell if anyone buys any more there than they do at Gateway stores. Mind you, they do carry a lot of other folks products, and that's smart (although the prices are no hell).
