The Beatles imake it to the iphone before itunes.

Well, don't hold your breath. However, until then why not console yourself with this brand new and official app for the iphone.

The Little Black Songbook Of The Beatles lets you download professionally transcribed music, lyrics and chord boxes to over 160 Beatles' songs...and that's not all! You also get audio-visual guitar chords at a touch... backing tracks to help you sing or play along, and even a few video lessons to help you learn the songs.
