There’s an Apple retail store in the Second Life virtual world that sells iPods, iMacs and even Newtons.

Trent Lapinski at AppleXnet reports:

“Even in an online world the allure of an iPod and those sexy white earbuds exists. Much like the Apple Store down the street, there is an user created Apple Store in the online world of SecondLife. At the store one can purchase wannabe Macs that display video, as well as iPods, or even a Newton.”

Run by Linden Labs, Second Life is a massive 3-D virtual world filled with buildings and objects built by its “residents.” Its “Linden dollar” economy is worth about $2 million a month, according to Wikipedia.
