I suppose the same argument stands here as does in most of Apple’s endeavors and strategies these days — Working to maintain a 1-2 year lead on all their competitors, so they’re now pushing towards totally reworking all their stores to the next “level.”

Still haven’t seen iPhones or iPods Touch used for wireless purchases / POS’ yet, but with iPhone activation in-store and the Consultant / Business Advisors, etc I think we can still clearly see the edge going to Apple even in this copying of the store mold.
