Verizon has launched the next version of its FiOS TV software in the Fort Wayne, Indiana market. Because you know, Fort Wayne is the epitome of cutting edge.

Anyway, the new interactive media guide looks pretty cool. Here are some of the highlights:

Enhanced 32-bit graphics with 16 million colors
Ability to view all channels, favorite channels, or subscribed channels, or HDTV channels only
New tabbed menu options
View the program guide in full-screen, half-screen, or mini modes
Automatic updates
Search live TV, On-Demand video, or programs recorded on your PVR
Enter text with a virtual keyboard, a cellphone-style multi-tap display, or using a scroll wheel
Widgets for weather, traffic, and community info
Market Place for ordering product,s browsing reviews, or viewing infomercials (does anyone do that on purpose?)
