Funny how they played the Beatles yesterday. My crazy rumor I wanted to see happen was the Beatles going to iTunes, with a Beatles-branded iPod.

Heath, you weren't the only one who noticed that.... maybe your prediction wasn't so far off the mark after all?

Steve’s slides were loaded with Beatles references. Album covers, Beatles songs playing, etc. They were everywhere. Too plentiful to miss. And yet, no announcement was made about the Beatles collection being available on the iTunes store—was there some sort of last-minute legal hold-up?

I heard, but haven't checked, that Apple Records is appealing either next week or later this month/early next month.

Gluttons for punishment I see. Apple Recrords doesn't stand a chance. I remember reading an excellent argument about how they lost. Wish I still had it.

I'm bummed that iPhone is on Cingular. I'm on Verizon but hopefully this allows Apple to get up to their %1 marketshare goal and then they can branch out to other carriers or go MVNO.

I think the first song I would load onto the iPhone would have to be "The Girl from iPanema"

And how about The Pirates of Silicon Valley for your first movie?

Here's Jim Cramer's theory about the lawsuit...

Cisco's trying to get cool. It isn't cool now. Here's the deal: I believe that what Cisco really wants is to have Apple open up the Apple TV device -- the just-announced set-top box that streams video from your PC to your TV -- and other products for Cisco to interface with.
USA Today also ran an article quoting a Cisco official who said something a little different, but similar to this...

Financial terms were not an issue, Chandler said. Cisco primarily wanted two things: clarity over who would use the iPhone name and interoperability between Apple's iPhone and other companies' products, he says.
