For us 80s kids: Get a cassette case for your iPod nano

by Robert Palmer (RSS feed) on Oct 10th, 2008

Cult of Mac turned me on to an awesome iPod nano case manufactured by Contexture Design in Vancouver, BC: it's made from a recycled cassette tape. Radical.

But move fast -- there are only about a dozen left of these one-of-a-kind cases, which fit first- and second-generation iPod nano models. Each case is C$45 (≈US$38) with C$4 shipping. What better accessory for your feathered hair, fringed leather jacket and roller skates when you go all Xanadu for Halloween?

Vancouver (BC) Apple Store opening May 24

by Robert Palmer (RSS feed) on May 20th, 2008

There's good news for our friends in British Columbia: Vancouver's Pacific Centre Mall is getting a brand-new Apple Store on the upper level.

The store will hold a grand opening celebration this Saturday, May 24, starting at 10 a.m. The first thousand customers will get a free Apple t-shirt.

Thanks to everyone who sent this in!

Vancouver Apple Store closer than ever

by Mike Schramm (RSS feed) on Nov 30th, 2007

Ah, the much-rumored Vancouver Apple Store. We've heard many stories of its existence, but so far, we've got nothing but hopeful speculation to back them up. And that hasn't actually changed, but here's some more speculation: reader Seamus sent us this Craigslist posting from Vancouver's page, supposedly looking for Apple Geniuses in Vancouver. Yes, Vancouver, you too are even closer to having a place to hack iPhones of your own.

Sure, it could be a fake (and it doesn't help that the posting links to the US job site-- how does that work?), but the post specifically mentions the Pacific Centre Shopping Mall, which would be a great location for a Mac retail store. If you're in Vancouver and hankerin' to buy some Apple stuff at a store built just for you, your chance could be coming soon.

Apple Store Vancouver (all but) confirmed

by Dave Caolo (RSS feed) on May 14th, 2007

Attention, west-coast Canadians! You no longer have to envy your brothers and sisters in Toronto, who have been flaunting their trio of Apple Stores. According to ifoAppleStore, Apple's Sr. V.P. of Retail in Canada, Ron Johnson, kind of spilled the beans when asked about Apple's retail plans at a recent stockholders meeting, saying,

"Patience is a virtue, and your patience will be rewarded soon."

Of course, "soon" could mean just about anything. Keep your eyes peeled, residents of Vancouver. If you see anything, let us know.
