iTunes HD Movie goal not quite met

Apple has reached one of its goals announced at the Macworld Expo in January while missing another, with 100 high-definition Dolby Digital-enabled movies available in the iTunes store of a total library of 604 movie rental titles. iLounge writes that Apple had set a goal of 1000 rental titles by the end of February, but has since fallen short. Apple's main competition in the digital rental marketplace comes from Amazon's Unbox service, and Netflix, who offer thousands of titles.

But in my book, getting to 100 in April when you said "end of February" isn't reaching one goal. It's "finally attained a goal two months after they hoped to be there".

It'd be like reading "MS reached a goal by releasing Windows Vista!" albeit 3 years late.

i would LOVE to see Netflix on my Mac or even Amazon so i can rent movies over the net using them. I already use Amazon to DL music to iTunes, so why not video??

C'mon guys, bring the heat.
