Just saw it. Ya gotta think Apple paid a fortune to have him endorse.

Or perhaps none at all. When U2 first appeared in an iTunes commercial, news stories indicated that no money was changing hands; that both parties saw it as equally beneficial in terms of promotional value.

quick google search...

Ah, here's a source.

Chris Evans was talking about this on BBC Radio 2 on Tuesday. Did Apple pay Macca, or Macca pay them? Or (more probably) neither (or both).

I think the more significant thing is the fact that Apple Computer and Apple Corps just finished a legal battle. I don't know if McCartney has any direct interest in Apple Corps anymore, but I do know that it was the reason that there were no Beatles tracks on iTunes until recently.
