The latest Jason & Co. store, which recently opened on YongFu Road, is an authorized reseller of Apple products. The store is well equipped with a variety of the latest Apple and related products, such as iPod speakers and earphones, Leica digital cameras, designer bags, iPhone accessories and many other similar items, all selected for quality, appearance and compatibility with Apple products. Store sales assistants all receive mandatory professional training for selling the above products and many of them are also very knowledgeable in related areas like sound systems and digital photography and editing. In addition, Jason & Co. offers customers a variety of free courses on subjects such as using a Mac computer and digital photographye and diting. Finally, non-Taiwanese patrons will also benefit from the store's English-language services. A. Jason & Co. is situated across the street from Chun Shui Tang Teahouse on YongFu Road. Its simple black-and-white color theme, together with the large storefront window that illuminates the interior with natural light, provides a comfortable, high-end environment. At the back of the store is a room used for seminars and classes. B. There are several speaker and earphone brands sold here, notably B&W (Bowers & Wilkins) speakers and Japanese Denon earphones. B&W's Zeppelin and Zeppelin MINI speakers are designed for laptop computers, iPods and iPhones. Both feature a top-mounted stand that allows you to directly connect your iPod or iPhone to the speaker. Denon earphones are known for their high-quality sound and may also be connected directly to your iPod or iPhone. C. Leica digital cameras are a top recommendation at Jason & Co. Besides a high-quality lens, Leica also uses SD cards that can be connected directly to any Apple computer to transfer images. The images can then be used directly with Apple programs without further alterations to the file format/type. In addition, the digital-image quality and color match almost perfectly with original scenes the photographer is trying to capture.
