Well, the timing is certainly there. If the Beatles are "going digital" that day (along with that Rock Band release), I can't imagine iTunes
not being part of that.
Seriously...why would the biggest band in the universe not want to throw in with
the king daddy music service? Makes no sense, unless Paul & Co. just actively despise Apple and want to go out of their way to stick it to them.
You gotta figure that's going to be a small part of the presentation...Beatles on iTunes.
BTW, they're getting a bodacious amount of mileage out of those "dancing silhouette" graphics, huh? What...six or so years after the first batch, they're still featured prominently in iTunes/iPod marketing? Amazing. Other companies have seen entire campaigns/slogans/logos/mascots come and go (numerous times, in some cases) in the time Apple has employed this motif!
