Although we would prefer to be downloading the all-new iTunes that Eddy Cue showed off at today's Apple event in San Francisco, Cupertino is pushing a modest 10.7 update to the existing version for iOS 6 compatibility.
Apple has released iTunes 10.7, and despite the full version number, this is a minor update and not the swanky new edge-to-edge version demonstrated at Apple's media event on Wednesday.
That said, you'll want to download iTunes 10.7 if you're planning to pick up a new iPhone 5 next week, or plan to preorder one of those slick new iPods.
"iTunes 10.7 adds support for iOS 6 running on compatible iPhone, iPad and iPod touch models," the release notes read. "This update also adds support for the latest iPod nano and iPod shuffle models."
iOS 6 arrives on those aforementioned compatible devices next Wednesday, September 19, so be sure to download and install iTunes 10.7 before then so you'll be ready to go.

iTunes 10.7 drops support for Leopard (and PowerPC). Boo.
As for the next version, it seems like Apple took something that was very intuitive (the source list), and made it more convoluted (drop-down menus). Are they taking advice from the Microsoft people who came up with the Office Ribbon?
