2008 for digital Beatles?

In an interview with the US music magazine Billboard, Paul McCartney has indicated that the Beatles’ back catalogue won’t make it online until next year now.
"It's down to fine-tuning, but I'm pretty sure it'll be happening next year, 2008," he told Billboard.com. “There's just maybe one little sticking point left, and I think it's being cleared up as we speak, so it shouldn't be too long.”
The Beatles are one of the last groups to withhold their back catalogue from the digital market, but sources close to the band have indicated that they really want to do something special, with a large online store linked to the Beatles official site, as well as exclusive bundles and packages for iTunes, too.
This isn’t the first time that McCartney claims that the digital deal is nearly done, though. Way back in May he was quoted in another Billboard magazine interview that a deal to release the digital rights to the Beatles music was ‘virtually settled’.
