Also here are the reported changes on the new build.

Update 2: I have now installed the new beta build on my iPhone 3G and I can now confirm that iPhone 3.0 Beta 3 makes Skype calls over the 3G network not possible. (please see screen shot below)

Update 3: This new version fixed my YouTube problem which started on the first version of iPhone 3.0. Finally it’s been fixed. This is a lot snappier as well compared to the last build.

Finally I have been able to make Internet Tethering to work on my iPhone 3G. I had made successful pairing to my MacBook. I tested tethering via Bluetooth and USB – both are working all just fine. Now I think with this new feature, I may need a bigger data bundle.

Hands on the new Apple In-ear Earphones

Remember the thread a while back about the New Apple In-ears, I said that I’ll keep you posted on how it performs when I can get my hands on them.

Well, I just got the New Apple In-ear Headphones with Remote & Mic a few minutes ago. I can say that these buds are worth the buck I paid for it. The sound quality is comparable and I think better than my now busted V-moda Vibe Duo. These new buds from Apple is also at par with the SQ of that of the Bose Triport In-ear.

Sound is really superb and well balanced from mids to highs. Bass is also well defined as I can really hear the double-base goodness of the song “One” by Metallica.

This buds works well on iPhone but sad to say the volume controls won’t work.
