MarketWatch 3:42 p.m. 02/07/2007 By Frank Barnako Something's happening here. Apple Inc.'s computer-meister is plotting something big. Really big. Like ... maybe ... new Beatles tracks we haven't heard ... which will be sold through iTunes and will not be protected by digital rights technology. |
There was much speculation Apple (AAPL) would use last month's MacWorld to announce the addition of Beatles music to iTunes. Instead, Steve Jobs held up an iPhone, loaded with Beatles tunes, while Beatles graphics and music play onstage. Presumably the tracks came from his CD collection. (Yeah, right!) |
Apple Recon has also reported there will be some sort of Apple "event" on Feb. 20. This has not been confirmed by the company. (In an earlier version of this post, I said the company had formally scheduled an announcement for the end of the month. I was wrong.) There is lots more speculation about Apple and that date here. |
