This afternoon we were at Arden Fair Mall to pick up a couple of thing and I stopped by the Apple Store in the mall to see if they had any of the new MacBook Pros out to play with. They didn’t have any so I didn’t stay there very long. As we continued to another part of the mall we passed a group of three teenagers, one of whom was asking the others if they had seen the “cool iPod store on the second floor”. I realized immediately that he was talking about the Apple store. Although the Apple stores certainly carry other items besides iPod, that was obviously what he was most interested in. I guess this shouldn’t really come as a surprise given the iPod sales figures that Steve Jobs shared during his keynote last week.
Perhaps Apple should start opening smaller versions of the stores and put a big sign up front: “The iPod Store”.

They’ve talked about some mini-stores to focus on the iPod. Like at airports and such, but I’m not sure what every happened, maybe they actually opened some…

Well, it makes sense since they are selling more iPods than anything else these days.
