Apple offered the first glimpse of the at the BIRTV (Beijing International Radio, TV & Film Equipment Exhibition) Expo, according to The Beijing Macintosh User Group: "Apple's stand at this year's BIRTV Expo in Beijing, capital of China, is remarkably larger than that of the previous year. Three massive ads were hung out in front of the exhibition centre, with two in clear sight when you approached the exhibition centre, and one in front of building 8B, where Apple exhibited." Apple will officially show off the G5 at launch parties in twenty major Chinese cities between September 2-27. The launch parties will kick off in Beijing, and will proceed to Shanghai, Tianjin and 16 other cities before winding down in Shenzhen.

Volks Wagen to Advertise?

Now if only we could get VW to advertise the G5? On radio and on tv, the Pod Unite commercial with the Bug and the iPod, is cooler and sticks with you more than any Apple iPod commercial. Did you see the s*** curves of the iPod? I'm sure this will sell tons of iPods.

G5 in China

I guess we're far off the time when the G4 was kept away from China because its performances could be used with a strategic development perspective.

F*ck China. THIS is why that loser Steve nixed the Dalai Lama ad in the Think Different campaign.
It's telling that he can have such a close relationship with Al Gore AND China.

If the g4 met the standard of a super computer I suppose the G5 also does. I wonder if there are any export restrictions?
