ifoAppleStore has added four new Apple Stores to its growing list of rumored or confirmed upcoming store locations:
Shibuya, Tokyo, 3.5 miles from the existing Tokyo store in Ginza, making it the fourth Apple Store in Japan. The other cities with Apple Stores are Nagoya and Osaka.
Annapolis, Maryland, in the Westfield Shoppingtown Mall off I-97. This would be the fourth Apple Store in Maryland, the others being in Bethesda (two) and Towson (one).
Victor, NY, southeast of Rochester, in the Wilmorite Eastview Mall near I-90 off I-490.
Flatiron District, New York City, the area where Broadway, 5th Avenue, and 23rd Street cross (possibly in the Flatiron Building itself), about mid-way between the SoHo store that opened in July 2002 and the upcoming midtown Manhattan store in the GM Building.
New York state currently has eight Apple Stores. The midtown Manhattan store was also reported by ifoAppleStore and discussed by AppleInsider on January 25 and again today.
