Apple TV Delayed Until Mid-March [Updated]
Apple confirmed today that the Apple TV will be delayed until mid-March.
This is despite claims that they would be reaching their February launch. Apple officially announced the Apple TV at Macworld San Francisco for a February ship date.
Meanwhile Apple Stores are still expecting in-store displays on March 5th for the Apple TV. Customers also report that early web orders have not yet changed and still reflect a Feb 28th ship date.
Update: Early Apple Store orders for the Apple TV have been delayed until March 20th according to several readers.
"Wrapping up Apple TV is taking a few weeks longer than we projected, and we now expect to begin shipments mid-March," spokeswoman Lynn Fox said by email.

Bummer, but releasing a product that is buggy and not ready for prime time is always a bad idea.

And yet, we have Vista.
I hope Apple is taking the extra time to cram a 500GB drive in that sucker.:p

A two week delay for :apple:TV vs A seven year delay for Vista..... which is STILL not ready for Prime Time.
Perhaps this mid-March release will coincide with
another major release....:rolleyes:

I don't think this bodes well for other products (Leopard, updates to the mac line, etc). It's taking resources away from other stuff that they should focus on. I could not care less about :apple: tv until I get a new Mac Pro.

Obviously Steve has read my complaining posts all over the web concerning some options I wanted to have included and is retooling to meet my demands.
