An IDG News Service news story reports that Apple offered Sony an iTunes Music Store deal in January, in a personal meeting between Apple CEO Steve Jobs and Sony chairman Nobuyuki Idei.

The offer was made when the two met at the Sony Open golf tournament held in Hawaii this January, according to the paper, which quoted unnamed Sony sources. Jobs is reported to have wanted to bring the Sony brand into the service to maintain a competitive advantage over Microsoft Corp., which launched a beta version of its MSN Music store earlier this week.
