There can be absolutely no doubt about Apple's first official store in the southern hemisphere coming to Sydney, with a giant banner which was uncovered announcing the store on George Street today.
A lack of information on the part of mobile carriers, third-party resellers and Apple itself has left the Australian public in the dark when it comes to knowing exactly where it can buy the much-anticipated iPhone 3G handset when it launches Friday morning.
The new interactive Telstra "flagship" store will be open from 2 November. Dubbed T.Life, the store is located at 400 George Street, on the corner of George and King on the group floor of the Telstra building.
One week after the Australian launch of Apple's much-anticipated iPhone 3G handset, locals keen to buy the device are still queuing outside the company's only Sydney retail store.
Intel X-25M solid-state drive (80GB)
Intel's X-25M solid-state drive enjoys several advantages over both conventional disk drives and other SSDs, including improvements to data throughput, boot time and notebook battery life. If you can forget about the cost, this is by far the fastest data drive available.
Linksys WVC54GCA Wireless-G Internet Home Monitoring Camera
Wi-Fi cameras for home security ought to be a no-brainer, and at this price, the Linksys pretty much is. We just wish it worked seamlessly cross-browser, and took better pictures.
The DNS-343 is the natural evolution of the DNS-323 — a four-drive NAS that's quite good indeed.
Microsoft Wireless Media Desktop 1000
Microsoft's Wireless Media Desktop 1000 will provide you with a perfectly capable wireless mouse and keyboard for a more reasonable price than its competition. We just wish Microsoft would give more thought to the design and overall feel of its hardware.
Logitech Cordless Desktop S520
It's hard to get too excited about Logitech's basic Cordless Desktop S520, but on close inspection, a few design elements help it stand out. If you typically find keyboard hot keys a good idea that's poorly implemented, we think you'll like this mostly well-designed mouse and keyboard set.

What a freaking joke. Whats so special about this anyway? Can't understand why someone would want to spend 30 hours queuing up to see Apple products when they're readily available online. Its Apple..all hype and no substance anyway and wayy overpriced. Looks like the store is the same.
