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.

Finally some good news for fellows out there who have visible signs of hairline cracks on their white Apple MacBook.

Now the company is telling its service agents to inspect any white plastic Apple MacBook they receive for thin cracks and service those notebooks even if the warranty has expired, according to the report. That doesn’t mean you can get a new MacBook if you dropped it off the table, but it could provide some relief to those put off by the small cracks.

So for those of you who have warranty lapses on your white Apple MacBook, head out to your nearest Apple Service Center now.
