Ok so I work pretty early in the mornings and I don't really know if the 3.0 update will be live and available for me to download and install through iTunes before I go to work. Now, I bring my laptop in to work on occasion, but we don't have wifi nor do I have a way to connect it online, so my only way to transfer stuff from my work comp to my laptop is by USB drives.

So what I wanna know is, if I can't get the update prior to heading to work, is there a link of some kind for the OS updates that doesn't require iTunes? I don't have iTunes on my work comp and what I wanna do is download the update on my work comp, then use a usb drive to transfer it to my laptop and update it that way, is this possible?

I looked a little on apple.com and the only thing I can find is a software update page for iPhone that just has all the info about 3.0, but no sign of a link to download the updates, such as the current 2.2 one.
 
you could just download and install it now. there is a guide in the iphone forum to torrent the file and install it. it should be the same release as on wednesday

I'm sure people will upload the .ipsw file shortly after it is released - provided you can access those sites on your work computer.
