Looks about right, across from the Hard Rock Cafe and North Face, and down the strasse from Starbucks.
I can't believe this will be the first store in Berlin. By the way, it's Kurfürstendamm.

Yeah, what a surprise -- Berlin #1.
Das Apple.

I thought the Tauentzienstraße is a better place for Apple, just across the street from KaDeWe (Kaufhaus des Westens, a big department store).

Best place would have been the Potsdamer Platz canopy (where the Sony Centre is) nearish the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin.

I just realized -- given your last name, did you not "trip out," as we used to say, when you first heard about this here Apple Computer? Do you remember where you were?
Perhaps you've had this question put to you before; it's ok if you cut and paste . . .
