AppleInsider StaffiTunes 10.2 is now available for Mac OS X (75.61MB), Windows 32-bit (76.72MB) or Windows 64-bit (77.61MB). With it, users will be able to sync their iPhone, iPad or iPod touch running iOS 4.3 when it is released next Friday.
The update to the media suite also offers improved Home Sharing, allowing users to browse and play from their iTunes library with any iPhone, iPad or iPod touch running iOS 4.3
Apple on Wednesday highlighted some of the features of iOS 4.3 before its release, including the improved Home Sharing, which will allow users to access all of their remotely stored iTunes content directly over Wi-Fi.
In addition to new features, iTunes 10.2 also includes a number of security fixes related to ImageIO, libxml and WebKit. The security fixes for iTunes 10.2 apply to machines running Windows 7, Vista, and XP Service Pack 2 or later.
The last update for iTunes was version 10.1.2, released in late January. It included support for the CDMA-based Verizon iPhone 4.

The update was 32 megabytes for me.
Cue the "WHY ISN'T ITUNES 64-BIT AND COCOA YET?!" arguments.
Is it just me or did they put back color icons in the preferences? Or were they always color in version 10?
I've all but given up on this bloated cow and am now looking at other solutions such as VLC for my music and video library needs.

Just came back here to post that. Hooray!
Clearly iTunes could use a MAJOR upgrade (11.x) on OS X as already noted.
In addition, when I sat down at my Mac to get the upgrade I wondered why it wasn't available in the Mac App Store yet. Guess I'm already getting trained to look for stuff there.
Also, as I read the article above the improvements to "Home Sharing" something in those words jumped out at me, both the improvements, and the fact that it is called "Home Sharing". I'm sure its a bit of wishful thinking on my part, but some of these improvements could lay the foundation for "Cloud Sharing" of your iTunes content to your devices. Do you have to be on the same WiFi network to share the content (probably)?
Just a thought.
