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!

Gruber's Magic 8 Ball on Zune

The Zune is coming, the Zune is coming! We all know that Microsoft has announced (but not shown off a working model) their iPod competitor (I noticed that most articles about the Zune aren't calling it an iPod killer, so I won't either) that will have WiFi, a social component, and quite possibly double as a cheese grater.

What's a Mac pundit to do? Why, pull out your Magic 8 Ball and start answering some questions about Zune, at least that's what John 'My Fireball is more Daring than yours' Gruber did today. Head on over for an entertaining and informative read. You'll be glad you did.

Tip of the Day

Holding the Command key (aka the Apple key) and pressing Tab will cycle through your open applications. It's easier to Cmd-Tab if you are Copy (Cmd-C) and Pasting (Cmd-V) to and from various applications.
