“Perhaps the most impressive of the new locations is the Causeway Bay store in Hong Kong’s Hysan Place. It features a massive glass front that has been under construction for some time,” AppleInsider reports. “The Hysan Place store will be the third Apple Store to open in Hong Kong to date. This September, the company also opened a store at Kowloon’s Festival Walk.”
AppleInsider reports, “Apple opened a total of 33 new brick-and-mortar stores during is fiscal year 2012, 28 of them outside of the U.S. The total number of worldwide Apple Stores is 390.

What about Berlin? There’s a store under construction since ages. Do they rebuilt the Amber Room there?
Ein Berlin, Ein Apple!
There’s one in Dresden if you don’t mind driving a couple hours.
It’s a beautiful store, located at the Altmarkt-Galerie.

SEE!!! Apple Retail IS DOOMED!
They might as well close ALL the stores now that Apple Retail has failed.
Pick any Apple store, anywhere, and I bet it does more business than all the M$ stores put together.
Come on MDN, where is the iCal articles about Apple stores will fail and be a painful experience? Do I have to put links in myself. Geez!

You must be joking, the article you link to is over a decade old. 2001. Given your timeline for relevant NEWS, Shall we also assume those WMD’s are still hiding in Iraq? Fool, please.
You must be the articles author.
That’s precisely why we iCal these stories from way back when. iGads has a point.
Tjk,
Did you miss “articles”, meaning more then one. I just took a stab at one. How many stories do you want to read where the experts said they were going to fail at the whole retail experience?
Better yet, I’ll iCal you and remind you the next time some expert has something stupid to say about Apple and how they are going to fail.
