It's not Apple's style to do a midnight launch. They get more press coverage and more normal, otherwise uninterested people walking/driving by and seeing the huge lines by doing the launch at a reasonable hour.
 
Any know what time the 2.0 update becomes available? I am heading out of town that day and it would be nice to have before I leave.

im thinking(and a couple of other people on another thread are thinking) it may actually might be july 10th. because with the confirmed news of AT&T getting their demo iPhones on Tuesday, they (the phones) would have to have the GM version of 2.0.
so maybe a possibility of thurs? I am not starting a rumor just using logic from other news.

You have to remember that there are employees at these stores just coming in to work for the evening shifts and they haven't been given the heads up yet.

I'd say by tomorrow it would be confirmed at one time they're going to open since it'll spread like crazy.

iPhone OS 2.0 went Gold Master a while back now.

Make no mistake, iPhone OS 2.0 is ready for shipping, and has probably been installed on hundreds if not thousands of the devices by now.

Apple could of released it the day it went GM, but they didn't, why?
because they are stalling for a July 11th release.

i hope activation is that quick but knowing att staff they will want to do the whole process themselves and lengthen everything
 
Any news on the process they'll use to sell the iPhone 3G?

I worried about lines. What AT&T service complexities will they be able to handle? How can you tell if you need to go to AT&T or can go to Apple?

Good luck on that. The process for the iPhone 3G is very similar to the last one. You go in and buy it, and they'll "unbrick" it in-store so that you can go home and activate it via iTunes like last time. That's what I was told by AT&T reps that it's what Apple Stores would be doing.

After reading this- https://forums.macrumors.com/posts/5716115/

I'm inclined to continue believing that firmware 2.0 won't be available until Friday when the iPhone 3G launches. Notice that it tells the people to install the demo devices on Thursday evening after closing, but not to download any apps until the next morning. Why would they do that unless the App Store won't be live until Friday morning? It wouldn't be logical otherwise to make them wait until the next morning when they would be more pressed for time to get everything downloaded from a server that will quickly be getting hit hard.

Thus, since the App Store won't be up until Friday, they probably won't have the firmware up until then since they'll want you to immediately be able to start downloading apps once you upgrade- not have to sit around wondering when it'll be up
 
Mobile Me may launch after midnight tonight so maybe everyone in the plan is getting last minute details before things start to pop this coming week.
 
I believe in the keynote Steve said Mobile Me would be available sometime in September.
