Yeah, it does kind of look like a Gateway 2000 store
Are they also putting it next to the Apple store like Microsoft?
Funny, I get the same feeling sometimes when I come here after reading DF.
That’s the first thing I thought when I saw it.
If it works, others will follow. lol
I haven’t seen any MSFT stores by Apple stores but that’d be funny to see. 🙂
mang, i guess they would say that is the natural way to display/run a phone/tablet/computer store. can Samsung just innovate on its own?
I dunno, they’ve clearly tried to differentiate. Pretty much all the cosmetic details are different (colder materials, rounded corners etc.). It looks more like a carrier store than anything Apple would want. The MS stores were much more of a blatant facsimile.
Considering how few MS store exist, its most likely you just haven’t seen one at all, lol. Seriously, the closest one to me is 2 states away.
Nope, there is one here [Houston] in the Galleria Mall and it is on the same floor as the Apple store but probably 50-70 yards away and not in view from the other.
Ha ha – I remember those. There was one in my city that closed after three months. It looked like a freakin’ barn inside. I thought I was shopping in “Maw and Paw’s Good Ole’ General Store.”
That still seems pretty close, and not by accident I’m guessing.
Nah, you can’t even see them. It isn’t close.
Then put your beard on it 🙂
Touché 🙂 I was thinking the same
I’ve never seen an Apple store that empty, even when the mall’s closed and the lights are out. Yeesh…
Mall of America. Directly across from one another.
