If you go to Apple’s homepage now, you’ll see this new splash screen teasing an “exciting announcement from iTunes”. Not sure what’s it about, but surely it’s related to iTunes and the stores. However, Apple didn’t throw at conference to any bloggers and reporters, so it shouldn’t be something really big, like a new white phone. But if you look at a report from Wall Street Journal, there’s news that might be related to this.

A “mere” seven and a half years after Apple launched the iTunes store, with countless hopeful rumors in-between, The Wall Street Journal is reporting that The Beatles catalog is a lock for tomorrow’s iTunes announcement. This is according to WSJ’s “people familiar with the matter”. Even with such an imminent announcement, WSJ’s sources warn that plans could change at the last minute, and that the talks between Apple, Beatles reps, and EMI were taking place as recently as last week.
