Apple Store redesigns

As the good Doc Mac points out very adeptly with the picture above, the reason for the Apple Store's outage Wednesday morning must have been a redesign-- it's come back with a splash of blue.

I like the new look. I think the slight gradient in the background makes it, but the rounded corners, blue bars, and especially the arrows give the whole store a definite iTunes feel. There's been a reorganization as well-- Mac, iPod, and iPhone are all top level product lines now (the Apple TV is filed under the iPod, which is close enough, I guess), and those three fit the buttons on the top of Apple's site as well. Apple's gone Amazon as well-- there are "New to the Store" and "Top Sellers" boxes that will, we'd assume, change as the facts do. No idea, however, why the Mac Top Sellers goes to 8, the iPod to 9, and the iPhone only to 5.

Looks good, though. A welcome refresh to a store that was starting to look a little last-gen.

Thanks to everyone who sent this in!

I guess WebObjects doesn't support clean URLs.

Glass, are you in Safari 3 on Mac or Windows, because I'm using Safari 3 on my MBP and the Apple store looks and works just fine for me.

Look under the Apple Store image, then look down at the Shop Ipod, Shop Mac, ... Looks like a spam site.

@tim #14:

if you click on the word "Displays" [it's under the staff picks section, there's an image of a 30" one with the word displays underneth] it shows you all the displays and all related accessories. Not too difficult to find.

also, still with the horrible URLs? wtf apple, we're well into Web 2.0

nevermind, they are still there, they are just harder than heck to find. you have to click a few things to find them, and i was only able to 'stumble across' them when i tried looking

i sent this in as a 'tip' a little while ago, but figure it might go well here. there are no more 20" and 23" cinema displays. they only sell the 30" now.

what does this mean?!...

Did anybody else notice that the iPod touch price says from 399.99, but really, its from 299.99. I was like what? I can't believe they raised the price! but no, it was just a typo.

Rahil, the pre-orders started shipping a few days ago just so you know. So order away, late-early-adopters!
