Plans for new 'prototype' make Apple store in Palo Alto, CA






Apple stores are quite visible, whether they, fit, such as the recent Pudong, China new or in their existing Covent Garden in London, such as for example the store.



But now we have Word of a new prototype store appears in jobs hometown of Palo Alto, set city centre at the 340 University Avenue, a block away from one of the earliest Apple retail stores, built displays a decade ago.


The city gave the square-foot storage place on 12 December for a modern two-story building at the 15.030, with details such as a glass façade and roof for natural light and a mix of materials, steel and stone strongly dominated.


The plans detail mezzanine on the back for Office space and a basement for storage. Palo Alto Planning Manager, Steven Turner, explains "it is a very unique building." "The retail space within the building is for pedestrians, the past walk are very visible"



Filed earlier this year describe the structure documents in connection with a 3.15 million US dollar project as a 'Commons (Apple) community collect' and a 'new prototype', of course, referring to the new design direction. Award-winning architectural firm Bohlin Cywinski Jackson have been worldwide responsible as the project applicants and for much of the work on other Apple stores.


As soon as this new valve opens, it is expected that the veteran store at University Ave. 451 is closed its doors forever. Apple spokeswoman Amy Bessette told the Mercury News that the company "Planning a beautiful new store building on everything, what we learned from our customers in Palo Alto, California and around the world."

Apple App Store faces issues with the interface on iOS 3.1.3 devices, fixes itself automatically






Last week people started reporting a strange problem with the Apple App Store program installed on their iPhone and iPod touches. This made it nearly unusable because it would hide the buttons to download the apps, along with the screenshot and other app information.



The interesting thing about this issue though was that only those running iOS 3.1.3 were reporting it and as you may know that was the latest update that the first generation iPhone and iPod touch is capable of running. However, it seems now though that the issue has been fixed.


Engadget is reporting that things are now back to normal, with the App Store program working just fine. Whether it was a temporary glitch or something Apple remotely fixed is not yet known. From the user-end though you don’t have to do anything as it sorts itself out on its own.


The screenshot above shows a slightly different texture to the top and bottom bar, which is unlike the glossy finish you usually see. Perhaps Apple was in the process of revamping the interface of the App Store when this happened, although it still does not explain why it only affected devices running iOS 3.1.3.
