Nichols reports, “A spokeswoman for the company told vnunet.com that it’s business as usual for Apple TV.”
“‘We’re still planning to release Apple TV in February, as announced,’ she said,” Nichols reports.
Nichols reports, “Talk of a delay began to circulate after Mac rumor site ThinkSecret reported that Apple’s internal plans involved holding the Apple TV back until March.”

Apple sure said mine was delayed until first week of march
This may be easier to read
Maybe people will eventually figure out that Think Secret has no clue…
“SHIPS BY FEB 28” sure doesn’t look like it’s been delayed into March to me. As for the March 6 date, you do realize that you have to allow time for it to be delivered don’t you?
OK, for the chronologically impaired who also have eyesight problems: when Apple says shipping in February, and your ship date is Feb. 28th, it’s shipping in February. It’s not late. The March 6th date delivery date has nothing to do with Apple’s announced shipping date.
MDN word “building” as in Bill “DIng Dong” Gates
You’re right…they slipped it a couple of weeks from the original promise Feb delivery and I glanced at the March date.
ThinkSecret reporting something thats totally wrong?
Never!
spare me…
Umm, your apple TV still ships in Feb. according to your image. Doesn’t matter when you get it, the still “made the product available” in Feb.
Apple never promised February delivery nimrod. Steve Jobs said AppleTV will be shipping in February.
Last time I checked February 28 is in the month of February.
I will take a dump in the morning as announced.

Apple TV debuts in the Apple Store – Somerset Collection, Michigan.
I’ve had enuf of iPods and iPhones and AppleTV. New computers please……
Rumor – ThinkSecret has a rotten and reckless record.
Just a rumor.
I hope I won’t have to wait until June 30th for Apple to ship my iPhone to me!
I just wish you didn’t need a Hi Def TV to use this thing. Oh well, I guess this will keep me from suffering from my chronic Early Adopter’s Syndrome

Jack A, if you had chronic Early Adopter’s Syndrome you wouldn’t be complaining about needing an HDTV.
What does this thing do anyway? So you can show your computer contents on your TV? Who cares when it ships.
This is another complete rip off from Apple – Steve trots out some useless gadget, and his lemmings line up to buy it – without ever thinking about its usefulness.
I wouldn’t be surprised if one day he pulls out of his Levis a square chunk of silver colored plastic, says “boom – it just works”, shipping now for $79 and people rush for their laptops to place an order.
Truly amazing.
if the rumours are correct and Apple TV + Leopard can mirror your Mac’s desktop then many more people will be interested, since this will effectively get around the iTunes codec limitations. Anything you can watch on your Mac with VLC player, you could watch full screen on your TV.
For those of us who use BitTorrent this seems like a pretty sweet arrangement.
> he pulls out of his Levis a square chunk of silver colored plastic
That sounds more like Zune. Except it’s brown (and not plastic).
The true “lemmings” use Windows (without much consideration) because everyone else does and it comes on the cheapest PC this week at Walmart or CompUSA. And with Vista, they are being led right off that cliff. I’m sure most people who send $299 on an entertainment device gave it careful consideration. In other words, they made an intelligent choice.
