A deal has been struck between the existing members of the Beatles, along with the widows of John Lennon and George Harrison, and the internet holding company Metatron Inc. What this means for fans of the Fab Four is that there will be five new Beatles-related video applications that will be available for download in the iPhone, iTouch, and iPad platforms later this spring.

Amongst the titles are “The Journey”, which is a look at the band’s beginnings; “Big Beat Box”, a documentary about the rise of Beatlemania; and a five-part documentary on the history of the band called “The Long & Winding Road.” The apps also feature rare footage of John Lennon at work and play, as well as a documentary about George Harrison.

Joe Riehl, Metatron’s CEO, said:

“Beatles titles are some of the most popular media available and we are thrilled to be able to release these titles.”
