Ho Chi Minh City is the new home of Vietnam's first Apple retailer. The store, which is a subsidiary of Vietnam's largest company, FPT, will sell Apple merchandise including laptops and computers. This won't be an "Apple Store" per se, as the store will also carry software and electronics from other manufacturers such as IBM, Nokia, Samsung and Toshiba. Use Spotlight as a reference tool. Type any word in the Spotlight box and one of the top entries will be a definition. Click on it, and it will bring up the dictionary application to check the word in either the dictionary, thesaurus, Apple database, or Wikipedia.

This is troubling news. Communist China and Communist Vietnam get Apple stores before we get one in western Massachusetts. More proof that our failed regional economy is even worse than first thought.

Yeah, it is. How about the ban on export of certain encryption software? Is the Mac classified as one? Will they be used to control to missle array arming at good ol' America?

Too bad I didn't hear about this last week.
My girlfriend was in Ho Chi Minh city, and could have gotten some pictures.

Wow, what are you guys so paranoid about? Vietnam is not the one that tries to arm itself against America. Just because the store is opening in another country, doesn't mean that our economy is failing. On the contrary, its a trade which has been done over and over to HELP the US econ called Quarenary activity (not sure i spelled that right). And....they won't use macs to really spearhead their supposed missle system anyways, why buy it when there are those millions of stolen IBM, windows machines?

"This is troubling news" Don't you have any retailers in Western Massachusetts that sell Apple product? This is not an 'official' Apple Store, but the same as any other company that retails the product. Cummon, really, do you think they'd have those crappy chairs, dated airconditioner, or even those flowers in a REAL Apple Store?
