Yes, Beamer is part of TL 2010, and contains v3.10, so your 3.07 is  
out of date.

(You can easily check for the presence of a package or class in TL   
using the locate command in terminal).

locate beamer.cls

returns:

/usr/local/texlive/2010/texmf-dist/tex/latex/beamer/beamer.cls
/usr/local/texlive/2010/texmf-dist/tex/latex/beamer-FUBerlin/ 
FUbeamer.cls

(the second line isn't particularly relevant, but the first tells you  
that beamer.cls is part of TL 2010.)
