Compass App and Magnetometer in Next-Gen iPhone?
BGR has scored a few images (above) from one of their ‘ninjas’ clearly showing a compass feature (in a debugging menu) that could very well be built-in to the next-gen iPhone 3.0 firmware.

Tether Your Mac with TetherBerry
I was dubious of TetherBerry at their initial launch, since their way of circumventing carrier tethering plans and policies could be a risk to subscribers violating terms of service, let alone the fact that tethering capabilities are already built into Windows and BlackBerry natively, but their latest update is most definitely worth a nod.

Apple now replacing water-logged iPhones for $199!
There used to be a time when Apple would flat out deny any iPhone warranty service or replacement if the handset showed even the slighest indication of exposure to liquids.
