So just a few more days to go now before the 3.0 release, so no doubt we'll need a thread to discuss it's pros and cons.
Does any body have it installed as yet? I do, and have to say the new features are certainly a welcome addition, and have been very well implemented. _________________ iPhone 4 16GB

Glad to hear it.
Managed to get tethering going from iPhone to MacBook too. It's amazingly simple, another great addition. _________________ iPhone 4 16GB

How did you do that?
Have you set it up with your service provider? _________________ MacBook 1.83Ghz C2D, 2GB Ram, 160GB 7200rpm HDD, OS X 10.6.5

See PM.
On another note, I've definitely got a shortened battery life, not an increase in battery performance I was hoping. _________________ iPhone 4 16GB

Ye my battery life has shortened, O2 have also activated MMS for me and it works very nicely! I've just found out you can only get percentage battery life on the 3G S, thats a bit of a joke IMO. _________________ MacBook 1.83Ghz C2D, 2GB Ram, 160GB 7200rpm HDD, OS X 10.6.5

Done, went pretty quick...
