Apple TV Part of September 9th Event?
Wednesday September 2, 2009
The Apple Store has slipped the shipping time for the 40 GB version of the Apple TV from within 24 hours (the norm) to 1-2 weeks. Historically, slippage of shipping times means there’s either a shortage of parts or a product refresh in the pipeline.

If Apple is going to update the Apple TV (and it’s about time it did), the September press event is a logical time to do it. September is Apple’s favorite month for making most of its consumer entertainment-related product announcements.
Of course, not all signs point to an Apple TV update. The 160 GB version of the Apple TV still shows a 24-hour shipping window. Perhaps those 40 GB hard drives are just getting harder to come by.
Having successfully created a Backup Startup on an external HD, on testing a Restart using the Backup I have to use the Alt key, NOT Command key. It then worked a treat!
I spoke with a friend at apple and a new apple tv is going to be announced on sept 9th.
