This apple store has so many items and products to choose from. I bought an ipod here, i love it. The prices vary from product to product, but since the software is f a good quality im prepared to pay a little extra for certain items.

The Apple store is an excellent representation of the brand as a whole. It doesn't offer anything that, realistically speaking, you couldn't get somewhere else, but it does it so such more stylishly, and with a great big tag saying 'COOL' on it. And I say that as a proud I-Pod owner.

The Apple store is quite amazing. Modern, airy and with a definate 'wow' factor, it wouldn't be out of place as a high end art gallery. An excellent range, certainly, and with enough staff to describe everything to you. If you just want to look around - so far so good. As an actual SHOP though it's not the best.

The staff DO sprout their own form of technical jargon, and the prices are absoluely ridiculous. You could get anything in there from a high-street electrical store, or somewhere online, at half the price. And from people who accept they're selling you speakers, not splitting the atom.

This then, is the Mark 1 I-Pod, the first Mac. Beautiful, stylish and achingly hip, but largely incompatible with the outside world. The thing is... I'll still shop there, and so will everyone else, because it is just so damn COOL! If it ever makes it to the levels of the I-Mac, or the Nano... every other stockist may as well shut down.

Can get pretty hectic during busy periods... but if its not too busy and you dont have much to do you can just walk in and play around with the demonstration models. Just dont end up walking out with something you didnt go in for, everything is so extortionate.

A Really nice store to visit and it looks very cool when you walk in. When my iPod broke i went there. I think it is brilliant that you have to call to book an appointment to avoid confusion. However, even though i did this, i still had to wait an hour after my appointment before i was seen. Other than that the staff were friendly and provided a good and useful service.

Before I start this review I just want it to be known that I am a hige fan of Apple and all the products they have made. The Ipod is incredible and the mac outstanding. But the shop not so much. Unfortunately the store is full with staff who think that Apple is life and speak very technical. Also the products and accessories that the Apple store sells are hideously overpriced and can be bought online or through another store. However, if you are looking for advice on the products or want to see the pinnacle of technological advances the Apple store is worth a look.

A great flagship store with all products on display and available for testing - perfect for every Apple addict. The staff are really friendly and they know their stuff so can help you with even the most bizarre queries! Yes, prices are high but you are paying for the brand and the quality

Apple's flagship store in Britain is a cool place, but I didn't think it was spectacular. It's good that they have their main products out on display to try out before you buy. They also have a place on the top floor at the back where they show you how to use your product if you don't understand, which I suppose is useful for people who have trouble. Overall it didn't really live up to the hype when I visited it!

If you are an Apple addict, as you can see from its name, this place is absolutely for you. If you are not an Apple addict, it is not important, when you enter inside it, you will exactly like it and become an addict of it. Apple has started its journey with its computers but everyone learns it after its iPods, they are really incredible with design, technology, colours and sizes. Now its iPhone is becoming very famous, you will exactly love it.

Apple obviously produce computers, but are becoming more famous for their Ipod and Iphone. Ipods have become THE mp3 player to have at the moment, due to their ease of use, flashy colours and great battery life. Apple products are quite hardweraing, and from what I have experienced their customer service is first rate. The flagship London store is definitely worth a visit, lots of glass and white makes it very flashy. The website is very straightforward, and gives very good descriptions of all the products offered.

I love my Mac. I fail to see why anyone would covet a PC of any type but a Mac...you can dream about them. Sleek, stylish, beautifully designed and easy to use. The Apple concept of a computer which works when you take it out of the box is brilliant, plug in a new piece of hardware and it works - no software, no fuss, no restart. PC - install driver, make a wish, turn around, touch the ground, restart computer, find driver, have a cup of tea - who has time? No freezing, no re- booting, no viruses, no multi tier OS - all the features on all machines. Leopard is coming - it even has a time machine - check out the website for info. Make music, make movies, make photo albums, podcasts, websites - have some fun. All out of the box.Apple design the iconic imac, the world conquering ipod and have you seen the iphone? - I want one, just to look at - I don't even care if it works. I know they are expensive but who cares. I love my Mac, I could not live without it and it looks so pretty. Get a Mac.Apple are coming to Exeter - I could not be more excited. You can be sure that I will write a review of the store when it is open. Update:Apple are coming to Exeter - I could not be more excited. You can be sure that I will write a review of the store when it is open.

Leopards coming! Leopards coming! Time machine. Love Apple. Beautiful, practical machines and software. We use mac mini at work and we have an i mac at home home. Our i mac has replaced the tv and stereo units in our lounge and has become the entertainment focal point. i trip has given us a music option in our aging car.Apple lovers drool at the web site. Have you seen the new i mac and key board? The obsession with thin continues. Nice. Love widgets.Apple are coming back to Exeter. Joy.Windows people look at the web ads. that's all I'm saying.Still expensive. Beautiful, but expensive.Asimov says "Mrs. Mov. is very excited about Leopard (October) and the new i phone and is desperate for a mac book. Need to earn more money."

Apple's prestigous UK flagship store on Regents Street, the store takes on Apples minimal white bleached layout with lots of glass used in the decor.If you like Macs, this is the place to be.If you don't, come here to get a mac forced down your throat even if you only want an iPod. Expensive prices.
