Apple TV Update delayed

In a press release noting the MacBook Air’s shipping, Apple announced that the Apple TV Take 2 Software Update is “not quite finished” and that Apple “now plans to make the free software download available to existing Apple TV customers in another week or two.”

The Apple TV Update, announced at Macworld, will allow the Apple TV to work without a connection to a Mac or PC. Users of the Apple TV will now be able to rent and buy movies, buy music, and watch existing content from their iTunes libraries directly from the Apple TV. The new software was expected to be released right around this time, but Apple says it could take just a little more time.

The Apple TV began shipping in March 2007 but was met with lukewarm praise at best. At Macworld in January 2008, Apple CEO Steve Jobs said that they realized the mistakes they had made with the Apple TV, and would be re-doing the device, dubbing it “Apple TV Take 2”
