After the long wait and disappointment of repeated delays, the Apple TV has finally started shipping.

According to Engadget, emails have been sent to those who preordered the Apple TV from the shipping companies and tracking numbers have been duly supplied. So what can we expect under the Apple TV's hood anyway? High definition 720p (and of course standard as well), PC or Mac connection (up to five), downloads via iTunes, a 40GB hard-drive and an Intel processor.

We'll see in the long run how the Apple TV will be received by consumers, right after it gets delivered to their doorstep.
