I heard this too so I got out some clips and submitted it to digg. I'm sick of this rumor so I want to quash it.

Sounds you like actually know the Yellow Submarine music, iMeowbot.
For most of the year I've been using "Pepperland" from the Yellow Submarine album as my default music for iPhoto slideshows. When family members hear that song, they come to my Mac, like Pavlov's dogs, to see whatever photos I'm showing off!
I don't think Apple should start making iPods in odd shapes, but they could put odd-shaped pattern overlays on them.
However, I think I'd quickly get tired of looking at any consumer device that was bright yellow.

Found a spy pic of it!
It's more like the old iPod shuffle but then again, it doubles as a kazoo.

The movie is one of my all-time favorites. Ah, wish there was a complete soundtrack with all the music by George Martin...
Extremely unlikely. When Apple released the U2 iPod, it still was the old, monochrome version when the generic iPod model was the new colour model.
They probably reckon the 'branding' will mean it'll sell anyway, so why not brand the older, cheaper-to-produce model and maximise profit.
I think the closest they got was the Gold iPod Mini. And I don't think that sold too well. Isn't it the only color that didn't stick around in some fashion?
Since Apple already makes white iPods, perhaps they've secretly been using a "White Album" Beatles theme all along!
White Album iPods?
Why would someone buy this?
To get all the Beatles tracks, the engraved signatures of the four members on the back, and the unique non-nano iPod color (when the black and red U2 edition came out, only white was availible). But most importantly because you're a Beatles fanatic and products like this appeal to fanatics.
And if it is a complete fabrication, it still sounds like a good idea, it'll be a release just like the U2 release I would guess.

In my personal opinion as a Beatles fan having all four signature engravings on any Beatles iPod would be in poor taste considering George and John are dead.
this is true, I heard it on my local radio station, it will come preloaded with every beatles cd and they are going to start selling beatles music in the store. I didn't read all the post so if this was already stated I apologize.
That's doubtful. If they bundle it with music, it will be in the form of an iTunes Store voucher, good towards the purchase of the songs. This is what they did with the U2 editions.
If a Beatles edition iPod ships, then that would be a prerequisite.
The rumor of Beatles music becoming available in iTunes has been going around for a long time. Beatles management has strongly implied that this is going to happen, but only as a part of an ongoing effort to remaster all the old songs at higher quality than the currently-shipping CDs. And nobody has said a word about when this will happen, if it actually does.
Someone with more time on their hands than I should figure out just how much it would cost to buy the Beatles' entire library, plus the cost of an iPod...That's gotta be some SERIOUS dough.
The phrase "Beatles' entire library" would have to be defined. I imagine that it would include the Beatles Anthology albums, but what about the U.S. vs. U.K. albums, the Beatles "1" album (all songs from other records), music from the Tony Sheridan days, or the songs never released on albums?
I'll leave it to one of those Apple companies to figure it out.
If we consider "The Beatles" to be just The Beatles they put out about 300 songs.This figure doesn't include albums by the individual members.
