Apple TV Delayed Until Mid-March
According to various news reports, Apple is delaying its Apple TV ship date from February to mid-March. Production of the device is taking “a few weeks longer than we projected,” according to Apple spokesperson Lynn Fox.

Apple is normally pretty good at shipping products when they’re announced. Dare I say it, but vaporware pre-orders and missed shipping dates are more typical of Apple’s nemesis to the north, Microsoft.
