Is the iPhone 3GS eligible for the “Find My iPhone” free service? It is current hardware and capable of running iOS 4.2 but the PR statement only mentions the iPhone 4, iPad and 4G iPod Touch. Thanks!

Downloading now. Coming in pretty quickly, but then again, I'm in Portland Oregon.

Hey, me too! Where do you live and I'll send my drunken neighbor to hop in his car and mow down the utility pole(s) with your Internet connection. One less competitor! Bwah ha ha ha.

And....

....Apple's servers are already clogged...

 

[OIDK]

Yay! I got mine to download (12 minutes after the release )

Download and update failed, but Download Only worked, downloading now, very slowly.

That's what I'm doing but now I get the other window...

 

[apple1990]

I guess several other people discovered it's now available, it's going to take half an hour to download!

I empathise, I used to have to wait 30-40 mins for the download now with my new connection it says 7 mins left!

 

[Sankersizzle]

Nope, still 4.1 as the latest version for me. I JUST WANT DIFFERENT SMS TONES.

 

[SForester88]

It has been released!! Check itunes!

I click check for updates and now its available for download!!

 

[Nascar Dog]

It made it all the way to Canada.
Downloading now...

 

[daneoni]

Its not even 4.2.1? guess i have to wait some more (already running 4.2.1 GM)

 

[s1m]

Not available in Oz - though it is only 5AM so I guess they assume most people wont be up to grab it yet though...

And as if by magic it just appeared for iPhone...

And iPad.

Why isn't this 4.2.1 - I thought 4.2 had some bug for VOIP?

 

[chimpboy74]

Everyone must be downloading creeping up and up 17 minutes 18 etc etc

 

[applefan022]

4 mins left!
