We've been waiting for the Southampton store for almost a year now since the first announcement. Originally it was advertised as opening "later in 2006".

I hope that Apple haven't changed their UK Retail strategy. They were recruiting, but that seems to have stopped now, so either the've found everyone that they need or they're putting the store on hold :eek:

I've been waiting for it to open for a couple of months now so that I can take my MBP in for repair, I would have expected it to open before Christmas so I hope that they are still going to open it and soon.
