Apple yesterday opened its 3rd stores in Manhattan (and 204th in total) in what's now becoming a trendy area, the so-called Meatpacking District, West 14th St.
This new flagship hosts a spectacular glass staircase, quite similar but even more beautiful than the one on 59th.
1600 people were queuing up in the cold yesterday for the grand opening !
First thing I shall do when I land in NYC on Jan 18th will be to rush there and shoot pictures of the architecture. Hopefully, Steve whould have announced some great new stuff a couple of days before at MacWorld San Francisco)
Apple is going from strength to strength and its stock price yesterday reached a new all-time record at $194, ie a $170bn market cap. To put this valuation into perspective, is is now 15% larger than IBM, 30% marger than Hewlett Packard, 3 times larger than Dell (!).
Below picture of the 14th St building from the outside.
How long will you stay in NY?
I'll be there on february!

Hello Michel
I visited this new Apple Store, and once again I am impressed, it is an eye candy, I can tell you this!
I also think that the neighboorhood makes it even more attractive, Meat Packing is the hot spot right now in NY.
I informed the Apple Store Manager that you were coming soon in NY, he is looking forward to it! OK I'm kidding :)
