OK, this is pure speculation but hear me out. I think it makes sense.
BGR just reported that Google is sending out invites for a 'special event' on 11/16. In the attached image, after you notice the T-Mobile logo, you'll also see 4 (half) heads below the T-Mo logo. Those are the heads of The Fab 4. I don't believe it's just a coincidence that they are on the wall.
Let's take a look at the date of the event, November 16th. That just so happens to be the same date that Apple announced that their iTunes music store had acquired the rights to sell The Beatles music catalog. Google's "special announcement" comes exactly 1 year exactly after Apple's announcement. Could it be that Apple had a 1yr. exclusive to sell The Beatles? I think that's a very likely situation.
Simply announcing that they were taking their Music service out of beta and opening it up to the public might not have made big headlines, but announcing a music store that has the entire Beatles catalog will get a lot of press and most likely attract many new customers.
We'll see what happens on the 16th!
