The iPunch heard around the world: Photos from the iPad launch in Beijing

The iPad launch is a hit.

A beautiful day for an iPunch.

They say timing is everything so here are some photos from the iPad launch at the Apple store in Sanlitun Village… eleven days ago. Actually, the focus of this blog is bars so, some might ask, why am I posting about this? Because in three years of going to bars and restaurants in Sanlitun Village, I haven’t seen one punch thrown, yet an employee at Apple managed to get into a scuffle with at least one person outside the store. Piece of evidence #11,568 why Apple — and its fanatical followers — scare me…

(Ganbei to The Stig for the photos.)
