I think this iPhone release may impose a DDoS attack on Apple's website from so many preorders.

What are you talking about? A DDoS is a malicious attack, not a bunch of fanboys trying to pre-order a phone.
 
Phones get delivered tomorrow, phone announced at 1PM EST and sales start at 6PM EST?

It will be pure hell at Apple/AT&T/Verizon stores.

Well if @Chronic's photo is real (which is a huge IF), then we know that there are definitely iPhones out there waiting for someone to buy them:

Those look like the packages that replacement iPhones come in.
 
Of course it will be out tomorrow, Sasktel / Samsung dropped the price on the new Samsung Galaxy S2 today getting ready for the iPhone tomorrow.
 
9to5 Mac, today:
"Apple may be set to release at least one of their new products on October 4th. We’ve heard uncorroborated – but reliable – whispers that Apple has sent boxes of product with a “do not open until Oct. 4th” sign to Apple retail stores."
 
Could just be the bumped up iPhone 4 spec-ed phone that's arriving at stores. I wouldn't be surprised if these were ready. But who knows.
