(Gibson) Rolling Stone magazine has released an iPad app for The Beatles. It mirrors the paper book The Beatles: The Ultimate Album-by-Album Guide book, published in summer 2011 by Rolling Stone.The Beatles app costs $9.99 – the same as the print version – and is not currently available on Android. The app contains the same content as the print book and has 122 pages with over 60 photos. However, it was redesigned for the iPad and as such, is not considered a "digital replica." The app contains 30-second sound samples (via iTunes) for every Beatles album song and the ability to purchase each song through iTunes.
It also features interviews from Jim James of My Morning Jacket, James Taylor, Liam Gallagher, Stephen Malkmus of Pavement, Stevie Nicks, Liz Phair, Steven Van Zandt, Colin Meloy of the Decemberists, Graham Nash, Bob Weir and others, as well as a guide to the best non-album Beatles tracks. more on this story
