Apple pilots iPod Bar in Tokyo
No, there are no iDrinks (sorry, it was the obvious joke). Gizmodo is reporting that Apple has installed an "iPod Bar" in the Tokyo Apple Store, which functions like the Genius Bar, but fields only iPod-specific questions. I can just hear the Genius Bar workers from across the globe exclaiming, "We're sick of resetting iPods!" Hence the iPod Bar was born. Check it out if you live near the Apple Store in Ginza, Tokyo.[Via Macworld UK]

So needed. The two products must be treated separately to provide Mac users proper support. Someone trying to repair a business machine that they rely on to make a living should certainly be excused from waiting in line behind people testing consumer goods that are less time critical. Computers cost more and have a wider girth of functionality. Now the people trained to repair them can do this job and avoid tech issues that exist on a smaller scope. I'm pleased that Apple is making this distinction clear.
