Does trying to link to it through the ipodtouch website help at all?

hey
I tried updating and it said "Trying to connect to the update server" than i waited and it said "current version is 1.1.4" but it trying to connect is a lot of progress
Also, There is something on the front page of yahoo.com about the problems! (well for me there is)

when i click the link from apple, im still getting the above message but itunes has to think about it for a while before telling me, unlike before, which makes me *hope* that now its a network overflow thing instead of it not being ready yet.
and check this out too:

Some useful information at last -- thank you.
Tells what we probably should already know, which is that between the 3G iPhone launch and the 2.0 software release, Apple's servers are swamped.
Now when you click the Learn More link it no longer tells you the iTunes store is not available, it tells me that the request timed out, does this means their servers are coming back up?
Edit: S*** nevermind, now it's giving me the unavailable message again.
Edit2: Now it's telling me 1.1.4 is the latest again, this is so f***ed up.

notice how the AP article shown above is also a link off of cnn.com
and yet it fails to mention that apple is doing anything about it.

This is the most annoying part, apple ALWAYS keeps us in the dark until they get stuff working, they really need to put an update on the site, not very tough just like a little message next to the "Buy the software update" link that says "oh and btw that link doesn't do jack s***"
Engadget at least has a little more info: http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/11/itunes-activation-servers-go-down-iphone-3g-customers-being-sen/
Because they probably aren't, right?
Wrong? How is that different than an error?
Breathe my friends, breathe. Try having a little patience at least.
I found a link to an alleged iPod 2.0 firmware file. It's an apple.com address, and the filename is iPod1,1_2.0_5A347_Restore.ipsw.zip. It's 223 MB. Do you think that sounds right? WHy would it be unprotected, bypassing payment?
Why doesn't Apple just say what's gone wrong and when it will be fixed? It makes my blood boil!!
I can't see it being much better tomorrow unless they upgrade their servers; highly unlikely.
I was so looking forward to getting apps on my iPod, since I don't want to Jailbreak it in case of the unfortunate.

I just called them (again) and she said that they pulled it off altogether because of traffic...I don't believe that that is the reason...
Didn't someone find that earlier? I'm sure Apple removed it actually but I'm not sure, it does sound about right too, great news for my 200KBPS internet connection
- looks like I'm going to be up late tonight!Thats it I give up.
What a poor excuse, you wouldn't shut down a shop because it's got too many customers would you??
Absolute waste of my time.
DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME
already tried it, gives you an unknown error AND puts your pod into recovery mode so you have to wipe it. Trust me its just really annoying.
