New iTunes coming, with battery indicator for iPhone

What's this picture, sent to us by reader Mike, and found on Apple's website? Why, it's a screengrab from iTunes, with a nifty little battery icon right there next to the iPhone listing.

Yes, but Mike, I hear you saying, what does that mean? It means, my friends, that a new iTunes update is right around the corner. 7.4.3 doesn't have this icon, and so it's very likely that within the next day or two, we'll see a brand new version of iTunes, complete with this nifty battery icon, and who knows what else.

Why Mike, I hear you saying again (I have great hearing), that's terrific! Could this, you say, have anything to do with the recent 1.1.1 iPhone update? Will this coming iTunes update affect, perhaps, my homemade ringtones, or my jailbroken iPhone?

To those questions, I don't have solid answers-- the update is probably due out fast, so we'll know soon. But I do, like many of you, have a Magic 8-Ball. I've consulted it, and in this case, it's telling me: "Outlook not so good."

Thanks to everyone who sent this in!
