Steve Jobs at the Apple Special Event, right after calling his ‘partner in crime’ Steve Wozniak on stage, talked about the new Apple store in China. He mentioned it’s a breakthrough in glassworks and features a 40 foot high glass cylinder. He also mentioned that the Paris Apple store has been restored and is open and flourishing. The London Apple Store in Convent Garden is coming soon.
So the stats are that there are Apple stores in 10 countries in the world which include the US, UK, China, France, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, Japan, Australia and Canada. They get over a million customers everyday and about 50% of those customers everyday are buying their first Macs.
Paddy does not, we repeat, definitely does NOT belong in the category of Mac-head (yeh right!). She does get excited by her iPhone and her iMac and her iPod Nano and her Macbook and Bali's iPad and her future iHouse (patent pending). Ok, so maybe her head is a little bit forbidden fruit shaped. She likes shooting video (iPhone 4 camera zindabad!) and editing montages (Final Cut Pro zindabad!), whether the scene calls for it or no. In her spare time, she's either kicking it on stage with KB the keyboard or kicking butt at Taekwondo.
