In my inbox today was an email from Apple that the Apple TV has been shipped. Arrival time March 23rd.
As reported Apple had to delay the Apple TV end of February to a mid-March time frame.
So there is nothing holding us back to organize the Apple TV gadget model shoot. Expect the photos soon.
The Apple TV box has what it takes to be a real success for Apple. Analysts already are predicting huge adoption for the Apple TV box.
Amazon.com has still no shipping date for the Apple TV. They also just sell it for the standard price of $299, so you can also directly order the media streamer from Apple.
The 197x197x28 mm box features Wi-fi and a 40GB HDD to stream audio and video from a Mac or PC to your TV.
