Some 1,700 impatient shoppers lined up for hours Saturday for the grand opening of Apples store in Rio de Janeiro — the first official outpost in South America. First in line was Thiago Cuba, 31, who said he was looking forward to shopping at the glistening new computer store in a tony section of Rio — even though he was experiencing sticker shock. The price of Apple prices in Brazil continue to be very high, but gradually are coming down, Cuba told the O Globo newspaper. There are some (Apple products) here that are close to what they would cost in dollars, said Cuba, as he prepared to shell out hard-earned reales for a new printer, headphones, and some cell phone cases.
