Rome Store Opening Announced

March 19, 2007

Apple has formally announced the grand opening of the Roma Est (Rome, Italy) store for Saturday, March 31st at 9 a.m., coinciding with the grand opening of the mall itself. It will be the first store in continental Europe, the first of several stores expected to open in France, Switzerland, Germany and other countries. The grand opening will feature the usual 1,000 commemorative T-shirts, give-aways of ProCare, and a MacBook laptop sweepstakes. The opening was first reported by the setteB.IT Web site.

I guess Jim Fleming is just one of the noob writers of macitynet. Their article just says the shopping mall will open and they speculate that Apple should not open that day! So ridiculous… Keep copying!

Pinco Pallo aka setteb.it, I’ve read also your newsbit and you were speculating like Macitynet did – them with both options.
So you were betting it will be open on 31st and they were explaining why it wouldn’t be so wise.
If my understanding of Italian is correct both of you were just betting and your informations were related to the mall opening. But as a matter of fact they published their bid on Sunday and setteb.id yours on Monday.

But anyway I was just joking and I don’t want get in a fight for you or other italian web sites.
Keep relaxing and keep on your nice work.
Both setteb.it and macitynet.it: we are waiting for further reports!

Ifo AppleStore Rules!

Jim Fleming aka macitynet.it, I’m not from setteb.it. I’m just an italian reader unimpressed by both of those websites, all they do is just copying each other and mostly from american websites. For non english speakers those translations might still be useful but not for me thanks. I prefer first hand news without grammatical errors lol

For other reader’s sake: setteb.it author was part of macitynet.it one day. They eventually split but you can still recognize most of the poor reporting common on both websites.
