If anyone had any doubts left about the 100% veracity of the Apple Firmware 1.1.3, here is full video demonstration of most of the new features, from GPS-like cell-tower triangulation positioning to multiple-recipient SMS, Google Maps hybrid map view, application moving and saving web bookmarks as Springboard icons:
As you can see in the video (which is having server problems right now, according to Andru at Gearlive) there are still some hiccups in this version of the firmware.

It works great and, being a closet karaoke whore, I admit I’m hooked. Apple must include this app integrated in their next firmware update. Watch the video review and, for an alternative take, you can see Californian high school cheerleader Rosita (yes, she’s as sexy as it sounds) telling its virtues after the jump:
Rosita gives good reasons on her own but to me, TuneWiki is just perfect for drunk nights in the bar, when everyone wants to sing for some reason and nobody knows the exact lyrics to a song. Or maybe it’s just me. Whatever. In any case, if you enjoy music and singing or [...]

First our little dinosaur friend Pleo had to endure a brutal beatdown at the hands of his cruel masters, and now he is forced to undergo a grueling (and shockingly graphic) 23 minute dissection. Poor Pleo —just remember that this abuse hurts us more than it does you. [PleoDreams]
