The Beatles on iTunes: the tease goes on and on
Brace yourselves for yet more confusion and uncertainty as The Beatles Apple Corp. announces it has made its album catalog available to digital download services — but music from The Beatles remains absent, even as Apple and Google prepare for music in the cloud. And does anybody out there care any more?

September iPod Event Predictions
As August nears its end, and September approaches, a few thoughts pop into peoples heads. For some it may be the end of summer, for others the beginning of school. However, for most of the people reading this site, new iPods is the reaction. Undoubtably we will see updates next month: but what exactly will come? Here are my predictions…
1. iPod Shuffle: At 49 dollars, its hard to imagine the price dropping anymore. However, I’m sure we will see some sort of an updated design, definitely thinner, and while a screen is possible, its unlikely. More space, and thinner are what to expect here.
Jonas Brothers at Apple Soho is a Major No-No
See here. The musical geniuses who brought you such timeless classics as S.O.S. and Burnin’ Up performed today at the Apple SoHo. Meanwhile, hundreds of teenage girls (and apparently one guy), who think its crazy to wait in line all day for a phone, waited all day in line to listen to a horrible, direct-from-Disney group sound even worse in person (if that is even possible). Due to the popularity of the Jonas Brothers, Miley Cyrus, and High School Musical, I have come to the conclusion that teenage girls have it hard-coded in their DNA to have no taste in music. If you’ve looked at the iTunes Top 10 lately, you’ll see exactly what I’m talking about: there currently are two Jonas Brothers songs, a Demi Lovato song, a Miley Cyrus song, and now, a David Archuleta song.
UPDATED: EA confirms Rock Band for iPhone – pics
EA Mobile has confirmed a version of its extremely popular Rock Band game for the iPhone and iPod touch.The news first emerged during an Electronic Arts presentation at the CTIA mobile trade show yesterday. Just like its console siblings, the iPhone version will offer downloadable tracks, alongside Bluetooth multi-player features designed to support up to four players.
TechCrunch informs that on the iPhone game play seems set to reflect that of its console kin, the notes flow down the fretboard in the same way, with guitar pick-shaped buttons presumably there to play notes.
Europe Going iPhone…Soon.
With Apple set to announce it’s European iPhone strategy later this week, a lot of questions still remain on the specifics of the deal. What we know:
- The carriers will be O2 in the UK, Tmobile in Germany, and Orange in France. Spain’s Telefonica might also pick up the device because of the O2 relationship.
- Even with the rampant SIM hacking, the devices will be locked to the carriers initially. Different Laws in Europe REQUIRE that device manufacturers open up their devices after 6 months of use. This might not be a huge issue as the phones are likely to be sold with 2 year plans.
- Apple’s UK announcement will likely open the iPod Touch floodgates as the employees have been asked to stay late the day of the announcement.
What we’d like to know:
WHAT ELSE (BESIDES NANO AND TOUCH IPODS-BEATLES) WILL BE UNVEILED SEPTEMBER 5TH?
* Logic 8
* iPod Tablet – Bigger than iPhone
* iPod Pico – shuffle with screen
* One more thing – Ultra-Light Laptops
* Asteroid – Firewire Device (just for old time's sake)
September 5th. Beat-les. iPods. Logic 8, More?
So Ars was right. The Apple event is going to be on September 5th. So will the Beatles. And iPods both big and small. But what else?
Oh, By the way….

Beatles-band for iTunes? Don't wait up, says McCartney
Just in case any iTunes users out there had any hope at all of seeing music from The Beatles ever being made available via the service, more bad news today from former Beatle Sir Paul McCartney, who has once again slated EMI for delaying this small digital music miracle.
“To tell you the truth I don’t actually understand how it’s got so crazy,” Sir Paul said. “I know iTunes would like to do it, so one day it’s going to happen.”
The Beatles come to iTunes (not really)
Excuse the misleading headline, we’re just deadly bored waiting for the survivors of the popular 60’s beat combo to get their digital deal done with iTunes,
While they wait, fans can entertain themselves with Beatles Walk London iPhone App. The fact-packed guide takes in 16 key Beatles London locations and many extra smaller sites in an easy to follow walk from St. John’s Wood to Piccadilly Circus.
“Follow in the footsteps of The Fab Four as you visit the Abbey Road zebra crossing, the Marylebone station movie location for A Hard Day’s Night and the site of what would be the group’s extraordinary, final, live public performance on the rooftop at Savile Row.”

"It's only Rock and Roll" show wrapup
Shows over, some will be happy, others will have had higher expectations*.
The biggest expectations were for the iPod touch. Those who hoped for a camera were probably unhappy at the results today. The iPod touch got a faster, double memory for the price sized 64GB and 32GB version and the 8GB version got dropped to $199 from $229. No camera or anything else it appears. This lends credence to the HardMac reports of delays. We’re not telling you what to do, but you might want to wait a few months on any iPod Touch purchases.
The iPod Shuffle got colors and some headphones compatibility.
The Classic got a bump in size to 160GB. No camera.
The Nano got the most improvements with that camera that was expected. Video, stills, a mic, and some new apps like Voicenotes and Pedometer. Also an FM radio (at last) Very nice additions for Nano customers.
iTunes 9 got an overhaul which was nice and expected. iTunes LP (Cocktail) we’re looking forward to playing with, though not with the Beatles. We’re downloading iTunes now. It is here.
iPhone OS 3.1 hit with Genius lists and other minor improvements. DO NOT UPGRADE if you enjoy free tethering.
A lot of sales figures and game demos also went by. We’re excited for EA’s Sporting games (Madden!).
Although this wasn’t a spectacular show, it was good to see Steve Jobs back after all.
Everyone cheered, we think if the internet was wired for sound we’d have heard cheering from all over the place.

Apple slashes previous-gen iPod prices as new models prepare to launch
As the world grows ever more curious at what Apple will reveal at its keynote event today, and commentators ponder a Sky News report in which Yoko Ono said music from The Beatles
The price cuts – presumably to offload existing stocks of older models to make way for the new – also lend some weight to claims Apple will introduce an iPod touch at a new low price, perhaps $149 (you can now buy a refurb 2nd Gen iPod Touch for exactly $149).
