Some lucky folks have already started receiving their new Apple TV pre-orders, a day ahead of the scheduled March 16th launch.
A number of MacRumors readers have been notified that their Apple TV is "on FedEx vehicle for delivery" today:
The first hint of potential early delivery for Apple TV pre-orders surfaced yesterday when they began appearing in FedEx shipping notices with overnight shipping and estimated deliveries of today. But the initial shipping estimates appeared to be based only on the fact that shipping information had been received by FedEx, with the actual packages not yet showing up in the system.
But the packages themselves did start registering in FedEx's tracking system during the overnight hours and have moved quickly to their final distribution points, and a number of MacRumors readers have reported that the packages are out for delivery.
Apple normally works with FedEx to ensure that no Apple devices are delivered before the scheduled date, even if they are located in a storage facility nearby. A few devices however always manage to slip through Apple's restrictions. Moreover, to Apple, the Apple TV would be much less of a priority as compared to the iPad.
While it may not be the device that they were looking forward to the most (the new iPad), the high resolution content that the Apple TV is capable of streaming would definitely delight customers. Besides, it might even help get their Apple TV setup ready, so that they could pair it when their new iPads arrive tomorrow.
