iPhone Version 1.1.3 Adds Google Maps Locator and other updates
Electronista reports that Apple introduced at
Macworld today the expected version 1.1.3 of its iPhone software,
upgrading the handset with several heavily requested features. The
device now includes a fully customizable home screen that lets
users rearrange the order of icons; users can simply press and hold
an icon to move it to a different location. For the first time,
users can also add icons to the home screen through a Webclips
feature that adds shortcuts to particular Safari websites. Users
can now also send SMS text messages to multiple users at once.
Google Maps has also been significantly revamped, Apple says. The
software can now triangulate its own position using cell towers,
providing a rough approximation of the user's location; users can
now also view maps in hybrid view and add marker pins of their own
without depending on preset locations.
