Apple opened its second store in China on Saturday which drawled crowds of all ages as early as 5 am. Some people drove several hours or flew in from different provinces in china for a chance to be there on the opening of the Apple store. Many hoped to catch a glimpse of the iPhone 4 or of Steve Jobs, but were disappointed.
Bystanders were interview and said:
“I didn’t come to see a specific product. I just see it as a chance for us Apple fans to party,” said Penguin, owns a Macbook and an iPhone.
Apple’s retail stores are known to create buzz and serve as successful a marketing tool for the brand in its home market, which has left many wondering why it took so long for Apple to open more of the stores in China, the world’s second largest PC market after the U.S. According to IDC, Apple computers still make up less than 1% of PC unit shipments, and iPhones make up less than 1% of handset sales in China.
Those dints stop a total of 150fans from waiting overnight to be among the first to go into the Apple store. One 20-year-old customer from Zhejiang province took ka buss to Shanghai last night with his friends, hoping to see the iPhone 4. “I guess it may not be available in the store, but it was still worth coming. I came to experience the atmosphere and the culture!” he said.
The building is made entirely of glass, similar to Apple’s flagship New York City store on Fifth Avenue. It has a glass cube entrance that leads customers underground to a space covering some 1,500 square meters, bigger than Apple’s first store in Beijing, which opened two years ago.
Apple said it expects to open a second store in Shanghai, but an opening time has not yet been released. The company has said it plans to open 25 new Apple stores in China by the end of 2011, but gave no additional details on those stores at the opening.

Some say it shows your personality, for others its just something to remind you that is actually your phone ringing, for others its whatever is the latest hot tune in the charts, ringtones have also been a large source of interest for mobile phone users, the demand is always there. With itunes charing at least 1usd for the latest ringtones and other websites charging more and doing various deals for receiving ringtones every month it is good to know that a rumor is in the works about Apple rushing to buy the rights to some “ready made ringtones”.
Some music industries have reportedly told CNet that Apple will announce and begin selling ringtones at a special press event on September 9th. Back in 2007 it was Itunes who made it possible for users to create their own custom ringtones, this feature costed 99 cents. This was instantly a success as it was a pretty simple practice which tended to catch on quickly plus the small price tag for having your own individually created ringtone could not be beaten even know this is still one of the more popular choices made when selecting a ringtone.
It has been known though that most consumers would pay up to 3 dollars for a ringtone so anything less that that will be a bargain in most consumers eyes. The Apple iPod-centric event will take place on September 9th were if rumors are true the announcement will take place and it should be a good move for ringtone lovers who want a change on their iPod.
