Why not have the news submission tomorrow then?

People get much more excited about "mysterious" future news than they do about facts being revealed. The former lends itself to speculation that is almost always widely more awesome than the actual reveal turns out to be.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I still don't understand why the Beatles being on iTunes is such a big deal. Anybody that cares about the Beatles already has their music, and it's already synced to their iDevice. At this point, it's nothing more than a business deal between Apple and the Beatles music label. Why should anybody else care?

Absolutely. And speaking as someone closer to fifty than forty... The Beatles are big news, but not new news. They aren't relevant to music distribution for the same reason that Miles Davis isn't relevant to music distribution. It's not like having The Beatles' catalog would get people to switch from iTunes to Zune or from Zune to iTunes.
