That would be great. I’ve been really waiting for this, that the Philippines will have it’s own official Apple Store. Apple store has the Genius bar which helps people to know more about their Macs. Apple store also sells iTunes gifts cards. All of those that are not present on our 3rd party resellers.

you can make a US account for free, by free i mean that you need not use a credit card for confirmation. how? google it, i simply filled up the information and use a random name generator or just google earth a legit us address and your set to go. but at the moment you purchase something you will need to supply card details. i personally don’t use itunes store for buying apps but i use genius, embed album art from itunes, podcast from AOTS and get free singles of the week. hehe

This is great, but one thing I’m eager to find out is if their service would be the same like other Apple Stores abroad. I must say, Apple Resellers here s*cks. Walang technical know how sa binebenta

@abe, sorry… i tought you were speaking about the Genius Bar in iTunes hehe. Well, that is the only upside with this but still the price for that service will be much higher here. Hmmm, how much do those tech earn? hehe…

**grr hehe can’t even type correctly: @abe, genius bar? hehe. For I know that thing is still pretty useless in Manila.. unless a full pledge online store arrives..

@dido, most of the shops in Manila do hold seminars. That is why some of them have a room allocated for that! like the one in Podium. When OSX leopard was announced I think it was iStudio or PowerMac in Bonifacio High Street that hold a seminar for that.

@abe, genius bar? hehe. For I know that thing is still use in Manila.. unless a full pledge online store arrives..

if you’ve been to an apple store in other countries, one free service they offer (right inside their store) is a lecture/demo or sometimes a seminar (for free). I doubt if any of the iStudio or PowerMac stores will ever offer this!

and I will not buy anything from any iStudio or PowerMac stores (they are very expensive). I’d rather have my purchases bought online.

a lot of consumers are starting to see apple for what they really are, overpriced computers that have the same specs as a decent pc for almost half the price. baka akala nila maloloko nila mga filipino. wala kaming pera kaya di nyo kami maloloko!

I think the difference will be on the repair and the support section of the apple product, because when last time I went to powermac at greenbelt 3 to have a repair on my MacBook Pro, they told me that it would take a month just to repair my hard drive cause the parts are not available here locally they have to ship it to Singapore and then there they would be repairing it…
