Update: As announced at MacWorld 2008 today, iPhone update 1.1.3 is out today and you can get it via iTunes. The feature list is as we had expected previously. Webclips (website shortcuts on your home screen) remember zoomed or panned to locations on the website! iPod also adds a Lyrics feature. iTunes allows for watching of Rented movies with chapter support.

In addition to the free 1.1.3 firmware update, current iPod touch owners can buy 5 new apps (Mail, Stocks, Notes, Weather and Maps) for $20. The new iPod touch apps are sold through the iTunes store. For more details visit the Apple website.

So, are you going to buy the 5 new iPod touch apps for $20? Take the Survey here.

Update: Another new feature in the January 2008 1.1.3 software update is the ability to do two-finger touch typing with the virtual keyboard. Basically now you don’t have to lift your finger to type another letter. You can type one letter with one finger, keep your finger on the first letter, and type another letter with your other finger. This gives you the ability to use the Shift key like you do on a regular keyboard. Typing should also be easier with two hands, which should please ex blackberry users. Apple has also increased the limit for text message storage from 1,000 to about 75,000.

 

Here is the original leaked information:
According to numerous sources, sometime next week you can expect to see an iPhone firmware update (1.1.3) from Apple. This new version offers lots of bug fixes and many new features:

• Hybrid map view in Google Maps
  
• Drag and Drop application icons on the home screen. Press and hold the icons until they start to wiggle. Now you can drag the icons around, even in and out of the dock or to a new page.
  
• Pagination capability, so you can now have more than 16 application icons on the home screen with up to 9 pages.
• Add any website bookmark to the home screen with an icon.
  
• Send SMS messages to multiple recipients, a highly requested feature.
  
• Find your current location in the Google Maps app using cell tower triangulation, emulating GPS features. Drop pin is another new feature.
  

Here’s the video showing the springboard icon dragging and pagination support:

Here is the official video demo from Apple:

Update: The iPhone development community has jailbroken 1.1.3, although it is not yet released to the public. This hack apparently required hardware modification. Here is a video demo of 1.1.3 hacked and running Installer.app.

Be aware that this update, much like the first firmware update will disable any jailbreak changes or hacks you might have made. If you make use of unofficial third-party iPhone applications and would to keep using them on your iPhone, you may want to refrain from updating to iPhone software/firmware 1.1.3.

   If you bought the iPod touch apps but can’t get them to appear, you need to restore your iPod Touch using the “Restore” button in iTunes. When prompted, do not restore your iPod Touch from backup. For most users, this has resulted in an immediate appearance of the new applications. Note that any media will need to be re-synced with your iPod Touch.

   Read this Apple Knowledge Base article if you’re having trouble restoring your iPod Touch.

   there is similar update software for itouch. the annoying thing is that if u wanna install the new update, u have to set the sync function not to manually sync music and video, which means after the update, your itouch will be exactly the same as ur library in itune….

    I love the fact that the new positioning function on Maps works on the touch via WiFi triangulation, clever, never new there was such a thing, but it makes sense.

    You people are **** retarded. The iPod Touch (or iTouch as you retards are calling it) doesn’t have cell phone capabilities, and therefore, can’t use SMS or GPS on GoogleMaps.

    Jesus I will **** snap your neck if you continue this stupidity! ;(

    I found out what happened. The first attempt to buy the 5 apps didn’t really go through because iTunes was still version 7.4.x. Once I upgraded iTunes and Quicktime to the latest version, I checked purchase history to make sure I had not paid for the 5 apps and then I purchased them again. Then it worked after a sync

    Very cool to have email, weather and maps on the ipod too.

    That sounds bad! I would recommend you go into an Apple store in the morning, get your refund and get it installed correctly.

    Same here.
    Update to 1.1.3 then purchased the upgrade, followed the instructions and nothing happened.
    Someone seem to have solved resetting and changing the name of the iPod, with no use of the previous back-up.
    Don’t run through the purchase link more than once because they charge you every time.
