    I noticed that. I guess we'll see what Apple does, and I imagine if any flag is flown it will be because there has been one there regularly (I don't know if that is the case or not). Apple Stores cater to a very large number of international customers, though, so I wouldn't be surprised if there is no flag.

    As for the main article, it implies that the Philly area has no Apple Stores which is incorrect. Only the downtown area lacks (an official) one. There are Apple Stores all over the Philly metro area, including Cherry Hill (NJ), King of Prussia (PA), (the aforementioned) Christiana (DE), Ardmore (PA), and Marlton (NJ).



    Further, there are independent Apple retailers in the area such as Springboard Media in Exton and in center city Philly.



    True. There's no lack of stores in the region, but downtown only has one or two authorized resellers (who i can't imagine will survive much longer once the official store opens. At least not more than one of them).

    The tax will be an interesting point. I'd LOVE to buy my computers at a downtown Apple store, or even the Ardmore (Suburban Square) store, but with DE so close (35mins) it's easily worth the $130+ I'd save on a new iMac - sales tax in Philly just jumped to 8% versus 0% in DE.

    Great news! But I don't see why "clean and purify" should mean removing the American Flag! Show your pride in the country that provides your freedom, Apple!

    I would save $178 on an i5 iMac.

    Living in OH now, I had my new 13" MbP shipped to my mom's house in DE at the end of June and then took vacation over the 4th to see family, pick up my MbP, and a 3GS iPhone. Saved quite a but in tax on that



    But for the record, I'll be declaring it all on my OH taxes like all of you law abiding citizens will be doing as well next year
