The much awaited Macworld 2008 keynote address has been delivered by Steve Jobs, and if you ask me one of the best things to be announced is the iPhone January update (aka iPhone Firmware v1.1.3). It was a year back when Steve Jobs had announced the revolutionary iPhone so probably the expectations were very high.
The new features in Apple iPhone firmware v1.1.3 are as mentioned below:
* Google Maps application can now pinpoint your location using Wi-Fi base stations and cell tower triangulation.
* Google Maps can now display the Hybrid map view.
* Ability to customize your home screen so you can now drag and drop application icons on your home screen
* You can have upto 9 customized home screens and supports pagination.
* You can now add web bookmarks to your home screen.
* Watch movies rented from the new iTunes Movie Rentals right on their iPhone.
* Ability to navigate videos by chapters, so you can now navigate forward or backward in a movie using the chapter markers.
* The ability to send an SMS message to multiple people.
* If you have song lyrics iPhone will now display them.
* You can purchase on iTunes Wi-Fi Store using gift cards.
