As a new iPod (phone) user I've really started to use iTunes as my music hub. After living under the "under 25" assumption that music is free for several years, I now feel a little bit of pride each time I spend 99 cents for a new song. Along with that 99 cent song you get the sweet cover art for scrolling too!
A disappointment has been the unavailability (pretty sure thats a word) of Beatles music. I went ahead and Googled my way to an answer. I found several interesting articles that I've tried to arrange here chronologically.
If you've got any more information or would like to be the source of the next apple-iTunes-the OTHER apple-beatles rumor, just leave me a message.

Simple fact... since Apple Computers stole the Beatles Apple Records name the Beatles are withholding their songs out of spite!
Hello. This post is likeable, and your blog is very interesting, congratulations :-). I will add in my blogroll =). If possible gives a last there on my blog, it is about the Plotter, I hope you enjoy. The address is http://plotter-brasil.blogspot.com. A hug.
I guess I feel once I bought it, it is mine. I ripped all my Beatles CD's and ported them over. Of course, I also own the bulk of my beatles on LP's too. For you young dudes, that was a vinyl format back in the dark ages.
