Fire up that chunk of your brain known as the Macworld Rumourbuster, readers! With just a little by two weeks before Macworld kicks off, let’s officially shout the crowd to order, and let the rumour-mongering, blurry ‘leaked’ pictures, and Photoshop-ing start.

Gearlive kicks off the “fortnight of faux” with a gallery of screen shots appearing to be from iPhone firmware v1.1.3. Among the alleged highlights: rearranging icons on the home screen, and pseudo-GPS (based on cell tower proximity) for Google Maps. Are they authentic? Macrumors points out that Gearlive is new to the Apple rumor game, and “Eagle-Eye” Scott McNulty suggests

that the iTunes icon on the pictures is in the wrong spot (although that could be part of the app-moving magic).

Whilst all the features shown in the gallery are certainly welcome, we can’t help but feel that whether that is the only feature-update to the iPhone at Macworld (barring the SDK in February), folks will be a little underwhelmed.

Thanks to all those who sent that in! The Gear Live servers seem to be having difficulty so you might have to be patient to feast your eyes on the shots.
