As part of its Rs 25,000 crore retail venture, Reliance Retail opened a new format store for Apple products. Called iStore, this store is an offering from Reliance Digital, the consumer durable information technology arm of Reliance Retail.

Hi, I am a regular follower of innovative techonology and am a big time fan of apple products. Though using a HTC touch right now, I have been on a wait for the 3G's official launch in India through Airtel. Coming back to I store hyderabad. I am sorry to say though the store is brilliant and caters superb techonology. The staff and the support system simply "sucks". They need to realise the meaning of the term customer. We run business houses too. If they can't leave their stupid frustrations back home, let them stay back. Mac is a new subject to Indian market. So is the official launch of Apple.By doing so they form a rude impression about the company over public.Advice: Please have a couple of sessions with Robin Sharma. Also make it mandetory for each of your staff to read a book called, "The Greatness Guide"Thanks and Regards,Pramod Sanghi
