Apple Begins Shipping the Apple TV
Apple is beginning to ship its Apple TV set top box. The unit was originally slated for February of this year but was pushed back two to three weeks into March because of last minute adjustments to the product's operating system. The Apple TV is shipping now for the price of $299 USD. Apple supplies a remote, the Apple TV itself and a power cord. The Apple TV is equipped with a 40GB hard drive, Wi-Fi 802.11 wireless adapter, 10/100 BASE-T Ethernet and built-in universal 48-watt power supply. The system connects to a local network via Wi-Fi or by wire, allowing users to stream movies and media onto their large screen TV. Beyond movies, the Apple TV also allows sync and playback of music content from an iTunes library. Users are required to have a TV with at least RGB component input, but a TV with HDMI or DVI input is preferred. There is an optical output for multi-channel audio but no coaxial SPDIF. The free shipping begins now and you should have your Apple TV in three to five business days from the day of the order.
