P.E.D reports, “Then the shipping notices began appearing, along with the first hands-on review — at Fox News, of all places.”
MacDailyNews Take: Fox News’ tech reporter Clayton Morris has been on the Apple beat for some time now, P.E.D.
P.E.D reports, “But it’s not clear how many Apple TVs the company will be able to get out the door under the Sept. 30 wire. Anybody trying to order one today faces a 2-3 week shipping delay.”

MacDailyNews Take: From what we see and hear, significantly more people are interested in the new $99 Apple TV vs. the previous models.
Some people here reported that their pre ordered Apple TVs had shipped. Huge pre orders of the “hobby box” were not really expected -MDN is right.

As of yesterday, mine had journeyed from Shenzhen to Anchorage. A few more days and whoo-hoo!
This will be my first Apple TV even though I’ve been an Apple addict since the Apple ][ days.

Got my shipping notice yesterday. They are Shipping it FED EX directly from Shenzhen China, which I was surprised at. I would have expected it to at least be shipped from a sorting facility in the US, so it leads me to believe that they had production problems.

No production problems, this is how all Apple products are shipped. My original AppleTV shipped the same way when it was released, from Shenzen to Anchorage, etc. I’m sure that the orders have been more than expected. But that doesn’t mean that it a huge success, it just means they didn’t start making enough.
