Apple TV now shipping; new orders in 3-5 days
After a series of hiccups, Apple Inc. on Tuesday finally got around to shipping its much talked about Apple TV wireless streaming media hub.
Customers who had placed pre-orders for the $299 device began receiving their Apple Store online shipment confirmations overnight, which promise delivery by Friday, March 23.
A good portion, if not all, of Apple's backorders appear to have shipped in the United States and other regions such as Canada.
According to the company's online store, fresh orders for Apple TV will ship within 3 to 5 business days.
Apple TV shipment confirmations began arriving in the early a.m. hours..

What's the conventional wisdom on whether we may get an HD surprise -- iTunes HD content?
If not now, I hope it comes soon. (Macworld in January?)
I will sit out on getting an Apple TV until Apple has HD content available for download -- and, ideally, HD PPV movies for $4 or $5 for a 24-hour view.

my guess is you will sitting this on out for quite some time. at least a yearor so.....
Why the requirement for an HD (or at least, enhanced def) TV set then ? Apple could have added a SCART connector and increased it's potential market by several orders of magnitude...
I'm guessing 720p HD content on iTunes sooner rather than later, and I'm hoping that the rest of the world gets TV and movie downloads too.
Apple, I love ya! But I refuse to buy an Apple TV until you begin to sell HDTV content on iTunes. Also, rental movies please!!!
Another inaccurate report from Mac journalists. I ordered on Jan. 9 at 1:33 PM, PST. My ship date only changed ONE time. The original date was Febraury 26 and was changed to March 20th. My order left China on the 19th of March and is in route. So what is this "series" of hiccups???????
