New Aussie, Swiss Apple Store openings

We've been inundated with emails today talking about the two international Apple Store openings.

The first new store is in Zurich, Switzerland. Reader Greg sent us a link to his Flickr gallery with plenty of documentation of the new Bahnhofstrasse store. Here's a pic of part of the huge crowd just before the opening:

Dang, Greg -- looking at those photos makes me want to go back to Zurich again, especially now that there are two Apple Stores!

Meanwhile, on the other side of the world, another Apple Store will be opening in a few short hours in Melbourne, Australia. The new Doncaster store appears to be a wide-body layout in a mall, and is the second Melbourne store. We're hoping to get pictures from our friends down under as soon as the opening occurs. Here's a photo taken on Friday (yesterday in Melbourne) of the store prior to the opening:


We'd love to hear comments from readers who attended either of the openings, just to see how many Macs, iPods, and iPhones were flying out the doors. Were there any cool freebies or giveaways?

Zürich Apple Store all but confirmed

According to the Apple blog MacPrime (which is based in Switzerland), the only thing missing from this deal is the official announcement from Apple. It seems that the Benetton store (wow, I haven't seen one of those in a long time) at Bahnhofstrasse 77 will be the Apple Store's new home. According to TUAW reader Greg, who lives in Zürich, "...that location is one of the busiest spots in the heart of the city. I don't think there is anything more expensive than that. It's got a very luxurious touch, surrounded by watch- and department stores."

Sounds perfect. Let us know when construction begins!
