Apple has put a major redesign of the interrior of their Apple Stores across the US into motion, starting with the iPhone and iPod touch display tables. Apple is said to be shifting the focus of their retail locations from hardware to software, focusing instead on the 20,000 applications available in the App Store. <!--break-->
As shown in the photos below (via <a href="http://www.ifoapplestore.com/db/2009/02/11/apple-revamps-display-tables-acrylic-stands/" target="_blank">ifoAppleStore</a>), Apple has replaced the small vertical acrylic stands containing cards with product information with two sets of wedge-shaped acrylic stands.
The large vertical stands are still there, but now include a few eye-catching application logos along with a picture of the product:
