Apple TV weeks behind schedule

Last-minute delays...

Apple's Apple TV product, expected to ship this month, won't arrive until the middle of March, the company has announced.

The $299 device, first previewed as iTV in September and formally announced at Macworld Expo in January, is a set-top box that allows TV programmes and films downloaded to a Mac or PC to be played on a television in another room.

Apple confirmed the delay in a statement but did not give a specific reason for the stall.

The Mac maker said: "Wrapping up Apple TV is taking a few weeks longer than we projected and we now expect to begin shipment mid-March."

Apple TV represents the company's latest effort to move past its core strengths into the digital living room.

    Um...the emphatic "weeks" made me chuckle. That piece of bloatware MS has out now...how delayed/striped down was that? I stopped counting after 2 years.
