Liverpool’s own Fab Four, the Beatles, are probably the best known band in the world. The writing partnership of John Lennon and Paul McCartney has created some of the most noted and long lasting music ever, yet so far it hasn’t become available as a digital download. MP3 player and iPod users have been unable to download the Beatles’ music officially, meaning their fans have had to make do with sampling their own CDs where possible.

All that may be about to change however. According to reports, Bloomingdales has a very interesting product on the horizon for Beatles fans; a Beatles branded iPod. If this news is correct, and there is indeed an iPod in the pipeline branded with the Fab Four, it must surely mean that their music will also be available on the iPod… after all, what use is an iPod with pictures of the Beatles on it, when it doesn’t contain any of their music?

If this news is true, it’s great news for fans of the Beatles, and the Beatles have a lot of fans.
