Photos: Apple upgrades the Temple of Pod on Regent Street

With just 24 shopping days left until Christmas, Apple has put down the hammers, swept up the sawdust and unveiled version 2.0 of its flagship store on London's Regent Street. It's still a shrine to all things Mac and iPod, and it's still all glass and pine and concrete, but the first floor is much bigger than it used to be -- allowing the Regent Street store to regain its rightful position as the largest Apple Store in the World.

Apple has warped time and space (and pushed back into a storage area) to bring you a new iPod Bar, a second Studio area for workshops and a lot more opportunities to touch and covet. There's also a new EasyPay system that lets you hand over your money without queuing.
