Of course, Megan is dying for one of those awesome iPhone remote dodads but we thought that we&#8217;d just go for more of a general Apple Store registry thing. I gave my local Apple Store a call to ask how we could get it established. The gentleman at the other end of the phone was polite. Perplexed but polite. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Um&#8230;A gift registry? I don&#8217;t think we&#8217;ve ever been asked THAT before,&#8221; he said. &#8220;We don&#8217;t have one. We&#8217;re kind of a specialized store, you know.&#8221; Yes, we do know. And it&#8217;s the kind of specialization that we like. But even <a href=\"http:\/\/www.homedepot.com\/webapp\/wcs\/stores\/servlet\/ContentView?pn=Need_Help&amp;langId=-1&amp;storeId=10051&amp;catalogId=1\">Home Depot<\/a> has a gift registry service, so what&#8217;s the hold-up Apple? Don&#8217;t you realize that geeks get married and have babies too? <\/p>\n<p>Sadly, it looks like Megan must rely on word of mouth instead. Don&#8217;t forget, Apple does have a limit on how many gift certificates you can redeem at any one time online. I think it&#8217;s something like 4 cards for online purchases but unlimited for in-store ones. Check with an Apple representative for details.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.tuaw.com\">TUAW<\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.tuaw.com\/2010\/01\/05\/apple-stores-have-no-gift-registries-bummer\/\">Apple Stores have no gift registries.
