iPhone 3.0 Update for iPod Touch Page Appears in iTunes, Not Yet Functional

[aidym]

Digital pancakes are holding up the release by coconut beam lasers from the interdimensional egg flavored chocolate dinosaurs.

I liked that one.

 

[jamesryanbell]

they haven't

If it wasn't out at the first minute of the day, then they have in my book. LOL

 

[MasterCarlo]

What? no..

30 minutes to 10 am in Cupertino and hopefully to release time

 

[Quicksilver00X]

Anyone know why Apple have delayed the release?

Because they found a major bug in 3.0 update that would brick all iPhones/Touches.

numbers

How many million are expected to apply for the download as soon as it's released? Just trying to pass the time with some number crunching.

Alright nerds, chill out with the sarcasm, it was only a question

this IS Horse S**t, They Make So Much Money From Us And They Still Make Us Wait!! Only 6.5 Hours Left Before Its The 18th

6.5 hours is enough, just praying for there servers to hold oout

 

[goodfellalj]

Only half an hour left. Do you guys mind if I go first so we all don't crash the server? I will let you know when I have finished.

If I jailbroke my iPhone 3G 2.2.1. do I have to restore it before upgrading to the 3.0 software? I won't re-jailbreak in the future.

Restoring is an inherent part in the update process, so in a sense, the answer is yes.

You won't crash the download server .. the files are downloaded through a CDN (Akamai)

Waaaayyyy to slow. You'll be last at that speed!

Side note: I upgraded to 3.0 last night that I got from a mirror. I initially had trouble because iTunes was out of date. After I updated that, the upgrade went smooth and haven't had any problems with applications or whatever.

same question I had so now I'm restoring it

 

[findwaldonow]

How long do people think this will take to do? Yes, I know the ability to download might be affected if servers crash. But, in general if things go relatively smoothly how long will my iPod Touch be out of commission? Will there be a need to re-sync?

 

[MasterCarlo]

oh man...

Oh man... I have a lot o work to do.... but I just can't concentrate, damn you apple!!

Yes. Apple tips everyone off. No surprise there. But it's ok we like it.
