Apple plans a Core for Beijing

From Shanghai Daily
Apple will open a retail store in Beijing this summer, its first shop on the Chinese mainland, to attract fans of iPod, Mac computers and perhaps iPhones.

Apple's new store will open in the Sanlitun, a fashionable bar area of the capital city, this summer, Apple China said on its Website today. Apple will open the three-floor store on July 19 and will open a second Retail Store in Beijing during the Olympics, according to an industry insider.

Very different from licensed retailers, the China Apple shops will offer training programs, workshops and technical support in their "genius bars," Apple China said. The new store will help Apple penetrate the Chinese market, the world's largest mobile phone market and the second largest personal computer market.
