Beatles Come to Apple -- No, Not that Apple

Well, it finally happened. Digital versions of the Beatles' catalog are finally coming to Apple. It's just not the Apple you're thinking of.

On Dec. 8, you may be able to buy all of the recently released digitally remastered Beatles songs -- along with 13 mini video documentaries -- on an apple-green 16GB USB stick stuck into an apple-shaped container, courtesy of EMI and Apple Corps, the corporate entity started by John/Paul/George/Ringo way back when. The DRM-free tunes will only cost you $280, or roughly $100 more than the same music in a 13-CD boxed set on Amazon. Only 30,000 will be sold, so if you're a BeatleManiac you'd better act now and pre-order yours (operators are standing by).
