Apple iPhone version 1.1.3 Feature List

• The ability to send an SMS message to multiple people is now there
• Google Maps application can now pinpoint your location using cell tower triangulation
• Google Maps can now display the Hybrid map view
• You can now drag and drop application icons on your home screen
• The home screen supports pagination
• You can now add web bookmarks to your home screen
• Ability to email the current page in Safari

The ability to keep bookmarked URLs on the home screen is a logical addition and will make using web based iPhone apps to feel more natural. Pagination is essential for the addition of icons on the home screen, and also paves the way for the 3rd party apps to come.

Earlier reports of a voice memo app, disk mode, and the ability to sync notes are noticeably absent from GearLive.com’s report.
