Apple Failed To Keep A Promise

Some time ago, Apple promised to have over 1,000 movies ready for rental on the iTunes Store before February ends, but it seems they didn't make it, adding one more failure to the delays suffered by the iPhone SDK. Anyway, while I couldn't consider these delays to be such big problems, they should not be taken lightly. After all, Apple reached a position where they shouldn't make promises they can't keep...


Let's look behind and see what Apple said at the MacWorld, when they released the iTunes Movie Rentals service - "iTunes Movie Rentals launches today and will offer over 1,000 titles by the end of February, including over 100 titles in stunning high definition video with 5.1 Dolby Digital surround sound which users can rent directly from their widescreen TV using Apple TV.", and let's see where did they get so far - 91 HD rentals on the 29th of February, as well as only 378 titles that appear when selecting "All Rentals".

Well, if they didn't make it in February, maybe in March... let's hope for the better!
