Forbes Business says:

My ex-boss Peter Kafka hears from a source that Apple's press event next week won't include the unveiling of Beatles downloads, appearing to throw cold water on renewed press speculation that the Fab Four have concluded a deal with iTunes. Interesting tidbit about iPhone ringtones too. - Louis Hau

Shortly after convincing ourselves that <A href="http://www.alleyinsider.com/2007/08/are-the-beatles.html">Apple was set to start selling Beatles songs via iTunes next week</A>, we talked to a well-informed source who tells us that's not happening.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.alleyinsider.com/2007/08/source-no-beatl.html"><P>So what will Steve Jobs be talking about next Tuesday? Our source is reasonably sure of the following:</p> <P>• A new iPod, which may or may not be distinct from a new touch-screen device -- essentially an iPhone that doesn't make phone calls.</p> <P>• A new feature for iPhone users that will allow them to make ringtones out of songs they've already purchased from iTunes. This is a long-overdue step for the digital music business, which has found itself in the weird position of selling complete digital songs for a dollar but 15-second ringtone snippets of the same songs for $2.50. One caveat: songs from Universal Music, which is in a pissing match with Apple over pricing and other issues, won't be available.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/A30857DC-E55E-4060-ADC6-AB127C3D9277/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
