Apple TV Orders Being Charged to Credit Cards
Several individuals who ordered the Apple TV early have noticed that today (March 12th) their credit cards have been charged the full amount for their Apple TV order. No shipping notices have yet been issued and the "ship date" on the order status page still reflects a March 20th shipping date. A discussion thread at Apple also reflects these happenings.
Retail Apple stores are expecting their Apple TV shipments by the 20th or 21st for display to the public.
The Apple TV was original scheduled for shipment in February but was delayed until "mid-March".

How long will it take to download a movie in 720p?
At the 5Mbps the AppleTV supports? A bloody long time I would think.
A DVD converted to AppleTV format via Quicktime kept it's native resolution and was encoded at 2.5Mbps in H.264 and it was massive.

AppleTV is the only viable option right now for savvy consumers who want to view their high definition home movies on their HD sets.
I'll buy the moment it comes out. I did some test exporting some HDV footage to AppleTV 720p video and it looks really good. I'm excited by this.

This is high definition at DVD bitrates. Really amazing considering 720P has about 3 times the resolution of 480P.[ Read All Comments ]
