True mapping on the iPhone

In addition to the iTunes enhancement, Apple has announced new mapping capability for the iPhone. Previously, the Maps feature wasn't able to track your actual location, a la GPS. Now, the iPhone uses either cell towers or Wi-Fi to triangulate your position, giving you more accurate mapping abilities. It's not as accurate as GPS, but certainly better than nothing (that is, what it was before).
