Apple TV Delayed Until March

By the Betanews Staff | Published February 26, 2007, 8:17 PM

Apple informed customers who had ordered its new Apple TV entertainment device late Monday that it would miss its original target shipping date of February, instead promising delivery starting in mid-March. While the company did not give a specific reason for delay, it did say that final development of the product was "taking a few weeks longer than we expected."

The Apple TV device costs $299 USD, and is the company's first attempt at extending its dominance in digital entertainment to the living room. It was first introduced at Macworld along with the company's first mobile phone, called the "iPhone."
