Today I was at Millenia Mall in Central Florida (thats where I live) and I was looking for the Apple store just to see a demo of Apple TV and maybe buy it. Why? Because I went to Best Buy and suddenly the guy who was helping me was sooooo Vista fan, that at the end He was "being honest" with me and give me the advice of "never buy an Apple product, they are always swimming to the botton of the sea". WHAT???? I ask for a Demo and then he told me he didn't think that Best Buy will be showing that Apple stuff because it was a waist of time and at the end it just an iPod for the TV. -- Ok, forget about that guy. So I decided to go to the Apple Store (like 40 minutes from home) and when I get there. I noticed that the Store was covered with a black board with a message saying:

Coming Soon Apple Store 2.0
Our All-new, completely remodeled Apple store
opens on April 21. In the meantime, please visit www.apple.com/retail to find the nearest Apple Store.

I attached a pic from my cellphone to proove it!



This Millenia Mall is the most finest mall in central florida, in there designers shows their work, and people come to see and buy designers accessories and all. I think it is important to Apple to start on time on some strategic stores first. maybe thats the date of the evolution. new Macs maybe? Leopard anyone? let's see.

I always had a feeling Black will be the new white. To transition from Aluminum to Black CF products will need transitioning the look of the store too to an extend, but that is really a long fetched thought, but who knows..

Kind of my thinking too. I don't believe any other stores are closed.

Apple has talked about renovating some of the older stores that have layouts that aren't working too well. If anything that sign says "Our store is old and busted... We are trying to make a new hotness".

IF they did want to tie any Apple products with a store it would only be the current cube in New York or the one in L.A. by Apple headquarters.

And once again, Apple releases new stuff on Tuesdays NOT saturdays.

thanx, it's not fake. I shoot it with my cellphone and send it to my server and then I published it here. so, please.... Anyway. I think it will be ending April when every new stuff will come out. then for WWDC it will be introducing new apps for leopard, and the anouncement of the iPhone on sale. maybe a couple of iMacs Touchscreen... just maybe. (at least that what I'm hoping to happen) I feel a touchscreen device. maybe an iMac or a MacBook... but Apple wont spends millions just for a Phone... no way

How on earth do you take one store on the opposite side of the country from Infinite Loop being remodeled as a sign of any bigger plan on Apple's part?

Apple "Event" April 15th (NAB)?

Just a coincidence though but that's how he connected it to "the day."
