Apple selling Apple-Branded Accessories (again)
from macrumors.com
[quote] One reader reports noticing new Apple-branded gifts/accessories at his local Apple Store. These new Apple-branded products include:
- 3 Different Pens
- Luggage Bag
- Pocket Knife
- Clock
Apple has always sold similar items at their Corporate Store in California. Also, up until recent years, they maintained an online store called AppleDesign which allowed dedicated Apple fans to order Apple-branded items over the internet.

I bought one of those fancy pens for my brother's birthday. Very nice.

actually, so did i... at least from the subject.. heh
Now for Apple to come out with apple cups!
<strong>I guess we know what steve will demo at MWSF! And apple branded pad. Excellent handwriting recognition and much cheaper than the competition, oh, and made of paper too... <img src="graemlins/oyvey.gif" border="0" alt="[No]" /> <img src="graemlins/lol.gif" border="0" alt="[Laughing]" />
will it be glue bound? (wireless?) <img src="graemlins/smokin.gif" border="0" alt="[Chilling]" /> <img src="graemlins/smokin.gif" border="0" alt="[Chilling]" />

I've only been saying this for a good three years (and listening to many of you tell me why it "won't work...", "isn't good for the company...", etc.).
Kiss it.
Seriously, how could it NOT be good? Apple only has the most loyal, diehard fans/users of ANY company - computer or otherwise - in existence. Why not satisfy their desire to outfit themselves and their house with Apple-branded goodies (tasteful, cool ones of course) AND garner yourself (Apple) a boatload of free, positive PR and advertising?
Better late than never, I suppose.
I still think a cool calendar would sell like hotcakes! Each month, some great "beauty shots" of awesome Apple hardware. Fender puts out a yearly calendar of their custom shop guitars and they're dramatically lit and well-photographed and have little interesting captions about them. Apple could do the same sort of thing, I believe.
I hope this is a signal of things to come. I'd love a fleece, Apple logo pullover. And a hat! Oh, and an Aqua Apple keychain!
