Apple News

Apple held its annual meeting with analysts and investors at its Cupertino, CA campus on Wednesday. Several Apple executives spoke at the gathering, including Steve Jobs, CEO; Phil Schiller, senior VP of worldwide product marketing; Fred Anderson, CFO; Tim Cook, executive VP of worldwide sales and operations; and Ron Johnson, senior VP of retail. MacMinute has put together several highlights from the Q&A session with Jobs, in which he discusses Intel chips, DVR features on Macs, iPod and iTunes, the digital lifestyle apps, .Mac, Longhorn, and more.

Apple said on Thursday that 1.5 million songs were downloaded from the iTunes Music Store during the same period that Napster reported selling 300,000 songs. More than 17 million songs have been purchased and downloaded from the iTunes Music Store since it launched in April. As noted in our coverage of Apple's analyst meeting, Nielsen SoundScan shows the iTunes Music Store had more than 80 percent market share of legally purchased downloads last week.

Apple this week announced that its first retail store in Japan will open in Tokyo's Ginza shopping district on Sunday, November 30 at 10:00 a.m. This will be Apple's 73rd retail store, and the first outside the United States. The new store will feature five floors where customers can shop for and learn about the latest Apple products and solutions. Apple Store Ginza will host more than 400 customer events each month, notes Apple, including a Studio Series of hands-on training classes. A complete schedule of Ginza store events and classes is available from Apple's site.

Apple said it will open a new retail store in Tigard, Oregon, on Saturday, November 15. The Apple Store is located at the Washington Square shopping center, and will open its doors at 10:00 a.m.

Apple posted this year's Holiday Gift Guide, its annual collection of both Apple and third-party products that it recommends as gifts for Mac users for the holiday season. All listed products are available for purchase via the online Apple Store, and can be browsed by product category, interests of the gift receiver, or price.
