Apple TV Shipping in February as Promised?

Vnunet claims to have received a short statement from an Apple spokeswoman regarding the ship date for the Apple TV:

"We're still planning to release Apple TV in February, as announced" she said.

The comment is triggered by a recent ThinkSecret report that the Apple TV had been pushed to the beginning of March.

The source of the confusion had been Apple's internal ship dates for Apple Stores to expect their Apple TV units. Indeed, Macworld.co.uk also claimed that they were told not to expect a review unit before March.

Early customers who placed online orders through the Apple Store are still being quoted a ship date "by February 28th".
