A little bird deep in the retail industry the other day mentioned to me we will see an Australian official Apple store as early as December. All “Apple Centre’s” in Australia have received word that they will soon not be able to use that term (store’s like NextByte call their stores Apple Centres). One can only assume that the first Apple store will be in Sydney somewhere, possibly on the roof top of the Opera house, if any of the other locations are anything to go by, I guess Melbourne is in for a small chance, Fed Square, the ball room at Flinders St Station would be a mad location.

Not sure how accurate this prediction is, but I’ll get a little excited. I was lucky enough to go to the Chicago Apple Store a couple of years back and it’s to this day the most stylish, friendly and cool shop I’ve ever been to.
