Apple hundreds short of 1,000 movie promise

Ruh ruh, Macworld ran one last test as the month of February expired yesterday and found that contrary to Apple's claim that there would be over 1,000 movies for download by March, iTunes and the Apple TV have hundreds fewer flicks available than anticipated. The 91 (of 100 promised) HD movies and 399 total rental titles make up a fair chunk of the 770 some-odd rental and sale titles, which comparatively isn't all that bad a number when you look at the other download services, but Cupertino clearly has a ways to go before we all trade in our Netflix and Blockbuster memberships.

@DoctorSpoc

so you're being negative on a company that makes a specialized product, and you're holding up Apple as a role model?

@skulldriveshaft

buddy boy there said that since he has a vudu there is no reason to even consider an AppleTV... but i happen to thing there are are a whole mess of reasons... i'm pointing out some of the things that an AppleTV can do that vudu cannot... you say the vudu is specialized.. i say it's limited... just a matter of perspective i guess.
