Apple Store update
So I drove into the city before heading home tonight as people had started queuing for the opening of the Sydney Apple Store from 8:15am this morning. I got there about 9pm… there are about 20 people camping out for the opening of the new store!
I mean, there’s not even a new product coming out, just a store to sell stuff in. Which isn’t to say I am not heading in tomorrow at 5pm for the official opening… but camp out over night!!
Front of store… lot’s of glass, and apparently second largest in world after London.
Now the iPhone comes out here on July 11, so Apple really has got twice the mileage out of this launch. A bunch of pres for the opening, and then what’s sure to be bunch of press for the iPhone!
Start of the queue, first five have iPhones… (apparently there are 25,000 on the Optus Network already)
More Queue.
SO I reckoned there might be a few thousand here by tomorrow 5pm… and I will be one of them!






You have to buy something, right? How will you exert the willpower to NOT walk out with something shiny???
