Apple TV Shipping Tuesday, March 20th?
The Apple TV was originally set to be shipping in February, but was delayed until March.
Apple has already seeded users with software updates to support the upcoming product. iTunes 7.1 introduced a new "Apple TV" preference menu that shows all available Apple TV's.
Meanwhile, as reported by iLounge, the latest Quicktime update introduced a "Export to Apple TV" feature for Pro users.
Export to Apple TV creates not only full DVD-quality 720 by 404 videos, but also 1280 by 720 videos. These videos are viewable in iTunes, but cannot be transferred directly via iTunes to an fifth-generation iPod.
The 1280 by 720 pixel resolution, also known as 720P, is one of several high-definition video formats supported by current televisions.
Last week many customers reported pre-authorization charges for the Apple TV appearing on credit cards.

To bad. i wish apple made one of these sans the hdd. I would love yo pay 179 for something like this. to be honest, I do not know why they just didnt make this into their airport extreeme router. I would snatch one up in a second.
To make it into the router one of two things would happen.
1. the router would be stuck next to the television for life.
2. Wide screen TV's would have to become wireless.

First post Woo!!
AppleTv still is not going to work out the way Apple wants it too
I think it could if it were at least $199
I don't know how much of a mass market there is for a $299 device to stream video.
Bring on the modifications to expand the HDD, then I'll consider buying.
If the HD was bigger, then I would certainly buy one. Im waiting until the HD gets bigger, or the price goes down, or until I get a TV.
Go here.
Do a "generic search"
Grantee code "BCG"
Date Range: "01/01/2007" to tomorrow (or whenever)
The only device approved this year is the new Airport Extreme.
We have a new Apple Store opening here in Tokyo on the 21st (20th USA). I would love to find one on display Wednesday morning.

Actually a combo router/aTV makes some sense. Since your TV is usually next to where your cable comes in the house, it's a logical place for your router (if you have cable internet). Add a few TV ports to the back of the router, a hard disk, a few more guts and voila! Then I'd also make it a PVR, if it was up to me. :)
