LAHORE: US Ambassador to Pakistan Anne W Patterson on Friday termed the launch of Apple Computers in Lahore, a landmark of American investors’ confidence on Pakistan.

According to a press release, ambassador said, “The partnership between Apple and Raffles Systems, representing our two countries, will promote growth and prosperity in Pakistan”.

She hoped this partnership and others between American and Pakistani companies would keep growing.

Since 1977, Apple Computers has been a global market leader for personal computers, portable media players, cell phones, computer software and other electronic products. Apple’s popular consumer products have moved technology from the corporate world to the public.

“Information technology, especially in the personal computer sector, has grown phenomenally in Pakistan,” said the ambassador. “The combination of internationally competitive costs and high-speed connectivity make Pakistan an attractive destination for IT investment.”

More than 80 US firms currently operating in Pakistan, were employing more than 41,000 people directly and an additional one million indirectly. The US is Pakistan’s largest investor, with more than $900 million investment in fiscal year 2007.

Went there yesterday in pace ground floor I talked about the Apple LCD infact I am currently looking for an LCD but that being a non TN was for 50,000Rs.With an exception of iphone ,ipod and a few other gadgets+ 2 laptops were also for display in a confined space .I think there main display might be at some other place.

Regarding iphone the manager there was of the view that as it has started(may be licensed) in Europe in a few months Asia would also b having iphones (though the cracked versions r workin just fine).btw right next to that LCD setup there was another LCD which was having the entire system enclosed in the LCD casing and that LCD was glossy(not the casing but the display as oppose to matte).
