Anyone want to bother calculating the average to see what the "wisdom of the crowds" reveals to us?
Unless I made an error, the current crowd wisdom after 324 votes is estimating it on Sunday July 22nd, or rounding up, Monday July 23rd.

Or in this case, the average is a poor indicator of crowd wisdom, and using it make you look dumb?
Maybe, but given that I already raised this criticism in the very first reply-post of the thread, I think I did the calculation just to see what comes up and was obviously giving the numbers in a jovial spirit?
PS: Fixed an error and changed the results.

At the day when my vacation has ended, so I don't get to play around with it much. So July 30th!
Similar thing happened when HTC released their Android 2.2 Sense-Froyo for the Desire. Last day of my vacation :/

Haha, nope. It's looking like I might've been right...getting released on my 21st birthday..July 25th.
But it's not like I'll be able to get up in the morning and download it anyway...if ya get my drift 😎

Yea right, if there still was a down vote button you'd be getting one of these "-1". 😡

LOL it's what that dude from AppleCare told me on the phone. I just wanted to share what he told me, that's all

While I agree it's unlikely that someone at Apple would've quoted a date, I can see next week as a possibility so they can talk about initial Mountain Lion sales on the earnings call the following week.
It was removed as an experiment. It could still come back or stay missing permanently.
