It seems that Adobe caught some people off-guard by releasing their beta test version to the public for free download a few months early.  You have to register to download it, but you can get it from the adobe website:  http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/family.html.

Some of the new features in CS3:
- the addition of "Smart Filter", which allows you to order your filters on a per Layer basis and apply masks to them as if they were Layers
- a new Black and White converter tool that retains your settings and effectively replaces the more difficult Channel Mixer method of converting colour to B&W
- a new Cloning palette
- improved RAW conversion (camera raw)
- improved Adobe Bridge (photo management system)
- a new refine edges tool to aid in making selections
