Google has announced that its Apps Suite, which includes the likes of Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Docs and Google Talk, is finally set to shed its beta label.
Gmail in particular has carried its beta tag for more than five years, and it has been a bit of a head scratcher as to why seemingly finished programs have carried on as “betas” for so long.

Internet Tethering on the iPhone
This “Hack” can be used to enable Internet Tethering on your iPhone. Internet Tethering allows you to use your iPhone 3G connection on your laptop wherever you are, this gives you the possibility to use a laptop screen rather than the iPhone’s smaller screen.

But it has indeed made it, and comes packing a full 3.2-inch anti-fingerprint touchscreen, a 5 megapixel autofocus camera, AGPS, digital compass and that all important 3.5mm headset jack.
