I just woke up twice from an "updating nightmare".... :eek:

I can't see how Apple would ever find out. Especially, if the person has an anonymous user name and is smart enough to never log onto MacRumors while at work. Apple would never know.

J T: Based on the information you provided, I see that you would like to know why you are unable to use "Find My iPhone". Is that correct?
Arian: yes
J T: I'll be happy to assist you with this. Have you contacted Apple about this issue before?
Arian: kinda, they said they will activate it in 5 hours
Arian: does that mean OS 3.0 is coming out in 5 hours
J T: At this time, MobileMe chat support is unaware of the time that iPhone OS 3.0 will be released today. However, the "Find My iPhone" feature will not be available to use until you have upgraded to iPhone OS 3.0.
Arian: but, it's says it will be able to use on june 17
J T: Yes, it does become available today. But we do not know what time it will become available to download. We have had a lot of chats coming in today about that. I'm sorry we don't have the exact time that it will be available.
Arian: ohh ok, thanks anyways
J T: You're welcome Arian. Is there anything else I can assist you with today?
Arian: nope

First they tell you 5 hours, then they tell you they don't know. Hmmmm.
Sounds to me like someone let it slip. I'm sticking with the 5 hours.
 
Yeah, I got a similar response when asking about the iDisk app availability:

Jennifer T: I understand that you are excited about the new features that will become available today. At this time, MobileMe chat agents do not have the expected time that the iPhone 3.0 Software will become available today. However, when it becomes available, the iDisk app, should also become available at the same time.
 
Btw is 9am central time 9 in San Fransisco? Because I have a clock set to San Fransisco time, don't know all the US time zones in my head, should probably learn them since I'm planning to move to NY.

I think 9 central is 10 eastern. So... It should be 7 pacific?

Nice Work. :D:D:D:D:D :apple::apple::apple::apple::apple::apple:

That means 8AM PST. Nice. I still have time before I drop my brother off.

The MobileMe support was wrong.
EST is one hour ahead of CST, and PST is two hours behind CST.
It will be 7AM in California and 9AM Central, and 10AM EST.

lol... we had the same person.. I took out her name in the second chat... and changed it to J T.... I guess jennifer does not want to give info out... try to get a different representative
 
you know what i think these chat people don't really know, but they get asked so many times, that it's just easier to give the time they think it's going to available, as there own personal guess... lol

Why don't use your iPhone clock app for that ;)
 
according to o2 its 6pm here (uk) for 3.0 release.
i have no idea what time this is in various parts of the us. juts thought i would throw it in to see if this ties up with your info..
i am hoping they will release at the same time.

6PM in London is 10AM in California. (this is accurate)

So I guess this means we have mixed data. One source says 7AM California, another source says 10AM California. Heck, I'm going to sleep now. I'll just update whenever I wake up tomorrow. Good night ....or uh, good morning for you. :D
 
thanks..
still bl**dy hours to wait.

i think i am getting concerned about the amount of times i am hitting check for updates.
i would go out but its tipping it down..
