From 30 seconds to 90 seconds, Apple is extending song samples in the U.S. iTunes store.

It all makes sense to me that iTunes would have the Beatles and just before the major holiday buying season is on. I guess we only have to wait a few more hours to find out. Then Twitter will visit the Fail Whale with all the buzz, I mean Twitter-pation…
