Apple Retail Stores in Australia?
Several sources have informed AppleInsider that Apple plans to open at least two of its own retail stores in Australia this year, starting with stores in Sydney and Melbourne.
The Apple Australia event for Apple's business partners on January 12 was rumored to be a possible sign that the iTunes Music Store would open in Australia. Now there is another possibility: retail store announcements.
There are currently Apple retail stores in 29 U.S. states, as well as Tokyo, Osaka, and London.

I'm sure the Apple store in Sydney will improve sales and help promote the brand. Apple in Australia need to seriously improve some other aspects of their business however.
Most of the resellers in Sydney for Apple have atrocious service - especially when it comes to repairs and support (even simple stuff takes forever and costs a fortune). The dorks wearing headsets at the Apple stores could dearly use some customer service training.
It is a good thing that Apple's products kick-butt in the quality and reliability stakes because if we had to deal with these turkeys on a more regular basis it would drive us nuts.

we need a third on connecticut. im sick of going over the river. that 15 minute drive kills me. there's a ritzy outside mall 3 minutes away from me that would be PERFECT for a mini apple store.
im kidding about the 15 minute drive killing me, but im serious about the mini store. it would fit in nicely.
