i've heard many things about the place in nyc... as far as timing.
i hope it's done for mwny, for sure.... maybe even in june. doubtful though. i guess it was delayed being so close to the wtc.
cobra: while i love the apple stores, and agree that apple should have em all over. i'd also like to see them get better equipped.. not necessarily have the top trained people, i mean, retail stores aren't gonna pay as much as a big company for techs, so they won't get the cream of the crop. but they need to be able to test and try things more thoroughly.
if someone has a problem with an apple product. the APPLE store is where they should be able to get it figured out... it's like going to foot locker, seeing their 5 different kinds of nike, deciding to find more, you must go toa nike store. you do that, and they only have 6 kinds..... not that much more impressive.
basically, i think the hardware and showiness of the stores is amazing. the tech part needs work.
