No Beatles at next week's event?

I was looking forward to that announcement. I hope it happens.

Edith Bowman announced last Friday afternoon that Paul McCartney will be a special guest with a big announcement on her BBC Radio 1 afternoon show on ... Wednesday 5th September, hmmmmmm?

I bet with the video screen iPod, Apple is going to release a "real" SDK for both of the new iPod and the iPhone. At least I wish they do. =) We'll see on the 5th.

Beatles iPod Please, Please Me!

The corresponding ("tandem") event held in the UK is at BBC Television Centre not a regular place for launching commercial products. However it does have television studios and is wired up to transmit to anywhere in the world. If a Beatle or two were to perform then it is an idea place to locate a launch.

a man appeared on a flaming pie, and told me "the fucking vinyls are going to blow away any downloads you kids are gonna make"

seriously. invest in a fucking turntable, some good cables, speakers, a preamp, and some good vinyl. itl be worth it.

currently i think im saving up for clearaudio's beast of a player. it costs like as much as some houses, and im only 15 so the lottery is not gonna really work in my favor for another 3 years.

Could be the launch event for Madonna's new track - the beat goes on plus the ipods

A man called Merlin told me there will be a special edition "Yellow Submarine" iPod.

Of course, at the time he was waving at Lucy in the sky with diamonds, and had been running across strawberry fields forever before heading down Penny Lane, but I believe him.

I'm so hyped up about the Beatles. Sure, I've got every one of their physical CDs, but it's the remasters I'm looking forward to. I don't care if (DRM-Free) iTunes or the physical CD comes first, I'm stoked and I'm buying, however if the alleged iTunes Beatles announcement has nothing to do with the remasters, I'll pass. I also wouldn't bother buying them if it's 128k over 256k.

So the Beatles may be important to some folks, and not to others. Whatever.

I do, however, get tired of people complaining about iTunes music being limited somehow. You say I can only play them on ONE device, but my iTunes music plays fine on my multiple iPods, my AppleTV, my iPhone, and my Mac Mini - which means I can listen to it at home, work, driving, shopping... wherever I am. Seems plenty portable and versatile to me as a Mac user.

I think the people who complain about iTunes music must also be the ones who still think Apple charges too much money for its products....

I'm no obsessed 'audio-phile', so portability is more important than pristine when it comes to my music. When you're outside in the real world driving in your car listening to your tunes, it's not like you need or can get a perfect symphonic sound experience anyways.

I'm old enough to remember CDs (and cassette tapes, and 8-track, and records)... I'm just glad I don't have to buy them anymore. :)

Now if only I didn't have to buy DVDs either.... (c'mon iTunes! More Movies! and HD!)
