Apple Stores Outshine Retailers

Anecdotal but...

Sent my neophyte Dad to 5th Ave Apple store for my Bday gift. 400 plus people in the store (it was after work Friday). It took him less then five minutes to get help with finding my gift and also two games for my kids, and check out.

Packed but still great customer service...makes me happy to still be long AAPL

I don't use a Blackberry, but every user I show my iPhone too loves. They are mostly not IT types and their only criticism is the lack of "push" email.

I guess will have to wait until tomorrow to see where we stand.
