Top news right now is the future release of firmware 1.1.3. There are some nice features including the Google Maps GPS via triangulation. Here’s the list of possible new features:

- ability to send an SMS message to multiple people (currently available from iSMS)
- Google Maps application pinpoints your location using cell tower triangulation (previously available from MyLocation 1.0.5 until it was shut down by Google)
- Google Maps displays the Hybrid map view
- drag and drop application icons on your home screen (currently available in Customize)
- The home screen supports pagination (multiple pages like summerboard)
- ability to add web bookmarks to your home screen (currently available from iphone apper or the LimitedEditioniPhone Source)

This doesn’t add much to a jailbroke iPhone, but if you haven’t jailbroke yours yet, then this is worth it. We won’t be upgrading until there is a jailbreak available. Rumors say it will be released around January 15th.
