Comments on: Apple retail stores get new look

Two new East Coast stores will reveal a revamped design when they open Sept. 23. But details so far are scant.

By the time...

Dell gets it's shoes on, Apple's already gone around the track.

"Dell plans to open up two brick-and-mortar locations in a pilot
program to test the retail waters later this year, the company
says. But don't expect it to be like an Apple store -- all orders
would still be placed through the phone and Web."

Yeah. People want to walk into a store decorated like Dell's...and
place an order on the web.

Here's a hint, Dell: Sears doesn't put it's Auto Center next to
Macy's.

Didn't Gateway fail at this?

Having a store you can look at computers but still had to order over the web?

What is that?

Nikia's doing that crap too...
I went into the mall the other day and there was a large Nokia
kiosk. I went in and looked at the phones. When I asked how
much one of the phones was, they told me that they don't
actually SELL the phones there, they just let you see the phones
that are available from Nokia. Even stranger, they had two non-
salespeople sitting behind computers, not selling the phones. I
wonder what a non cashier makes there?
Come on guys... I can see a non working version of your phones
on line. Malls are not a good place to NOT SELL THINGS!
