I think this is great news, especially considering the legal battles Apple has had with Apple Corps (the company formed to handle The Beatles interests). I found this in a Fortune magazine story via CNN/Money:
Very cool. And a great coup for Apple if it works out (particularly if they get it hammered out before the end of the holiday season).
While details remain to be worked out, Fortune has learned that iTunes is close to a deal to bring the Beatles catalog online. Apple Computer (Charts) is said to be angling to become the exclusive online music store for the Beatles for a limited window of time. Other music stores, such as Microsoft's (Charts) MSN and Rhapsody, have courted the Beatles over the years to no avail, but it appears Apple is close to getting first dibs on the band's hits.
