So we know there is going to be an Apple event September 5th. We seem to know there is going to be at least one new iPod there. We seem to know what at least that one is. Okay, so tell me something I don’t know.

While window shopping on iTunes today I was struck by something – just how heavily Apple is promoting both the newly acquired John Lennon as well as his partner in crime Paul McCartney. They are in heavy top banner rotation, and they appear to always be next to each other. I take this as a sign – I think Apple is finally ready to announce The Beatles on iTunes at the event September 5th.

Now there have been MANY false rumors about this partnership before, but the fact remains that we all know it’s coming, it’s just a matter of when. September 5th in conjunction with a slew of new iPods seems like the perfect time to me. Everything is in place, the planets are aligned – Across the Universe.
