All these posts are now ancient history - does anyone have an updated status on the Apple Store HK site development? And does anyone have a clue when the store will be opened - one or both or wherever it might be (assuming IFC)?

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!

On a side note, how can they open 2 apple store so closely located while there are many many many retailers (most of them are cr4p anyway but you got the local bestbuys aka Fortress or Broadway). Also what's the point if we (HK) are getting the new stuff later than everybody else? - ie. still no iPad2 and the iPhone4 just barely made it back online on the apple store.

I really hope on a commercial move to tackle grey imports as well, it's so stupid because they are made 30kms from here sent to USA then back here and sold at premium price.

These two are reasonable for Apple to start their retail business in Hong Kong. As before iPod become popular among Hong Konger, like in 2004, most Apple reseller are located in Central and Causeway Bay. Opening store there, make sure the sales of Mac and Mac related product besides iPhone, iPad and iPod (although they will have to compete with their reseller).

What I really want is Apple Music Store! It's ok if they only sell their content from US and Japan.
