Apple TV Shipping in February as Promised?

prolly, weve already discussed the fact that the shipment date never changed...:apple: :apple: :apple:

The think secret report had always said "The first shipments of Apple TV to the company's retail stores have been pushed back to the beginning of March, Think Secret has learned."

Its everyone else who miss read it

This proves that Apple Inc reads rumor sites.

...then again, so did Steve's acknowledgement of accidentally leaked stats for the G5's premier.

i hhave a friend who used to work for apple and he told me that they actually have a department that spends the whole day going thru rumour sites and the like seeing what people are saying.

I mean, talk about cheap market research. Whenever something is announced then everyone starts to whinge and whine about the product and its short comings. I guess this gives apple a good idea as to what features people want in things and what they think about the products.

With the high exposure apple now gets they need to know what people are thinking and what they require in products, and well, its always nice to know what people are saying about you :).

cant they just moderate their own Apple forums for whines and gripes? (and rumors/news)

Just imagine, one of us might be an undercover apple agent!

Early customers who placed online orders through the Apple Store are still being quoted a ship date "by February 28th".

Shipping the final day in February or the beginning of March. What's the difference? No one will actually receive one until March anyway.:rolleyes:

There could be someone from Apple lurking here right now as we speak! :D

On topic, that's good that the :apple: TV is going to ship as expected...

It's him! Bag the Noob!

Is it just me or is the difference between "Feb 28" and "The beginning of March" just a few days? Feb only has 28 days in it! Why does everyone think this is news? Are we that desperate for rumors? IMHO, This should be a page 3 or 4 post if those pages existed.
