The Apple Store: Moving North

Looks like Apple is finally opening up a retail store in Maine:

The maker of the MacBook laptop, the iPod and the iPhone has quietly made moves to open an Apple Store at the Maine Mall, according to job listings on Apple.com.

As the article points out, the closest shop has been in Salem, New Hampshire. Not good enough.

For contrast (and an unfair comparison), I can think of seven Apple Store within a 20 mile radius of my apartment in West Hollywood. And yes, that matters, when you want to test-drive a product before buying it – something I recommend on all over-$1000 purchases.

But now, at last, I can move back home...
