Double Fantasy: Is Apple Just Announcing A Beatles Agreement?

If Apple is really pulling out its media hype machine to announce that "The White Album" and "Abbey Road" will finally be available in the iTunes store, is it a sign that Steve Jobs has finally totally and completely lost his mind? Jobs has had a whiff of "Apocalypse Now"'s Col. Kurtz about him in the past couple of press conferences, so the possibility is not out of the question. But will anybody care? Is there a Beatles fan on earth left who in the past decade has not burned or otherwise migrated his Beatles catalog into digital form?

The likelihood that Apple would be announcing only a Beatles deal tomorrow prompted one former Apple fan to mutter, "I'm getting a Dell."

As The Wall Street Journal points out in a report suggesting that Apple will be making the long-awaited Beatles announcement tomorrow, there's no planned media event in Cupertino Tuesday. At 7 a.m pt they may simply link their homepage to the Beatles catalog in the iTunes store.

That or maybe Jobs is going to attempt to resurrect John Lennon on live streaming video.
