Seems there’s a strong consensus now that the recent ‘leaked’ screencaps and videos of the 1.1.3 firmware are not faked; that they are legit and show at least a pre-release version of the new firmware.

A further bit of supporting evidence for their legitimacy came out today – an Apple patent for the ‘Jiggly Icons’ effect when you’re in icon re-arranging mode. Hrmpf.com tracked down the patents and produced the animated .gif of images in the patent shown above, to demonstrate it.

Copy & Paste At Last ???

Today there is also a rumor that the new firmware has a lot more tricks up it sleeve than we’ve seen in any of the leaked material so far – including Copy & Paste! MacScoop says that ‘well informed sources’ tell them the feature everybody wants will be added at last.

Just a rumor, to be taken with lots of grains of salt and all that, but that would turn a few heads …
