If that's true, it would mean the release is due:

Los Angeles (PDT) - 1pm
Chicago (CDT) - 2pm
Washington D.C. (EDT) - 3pm
London (BST) - 8pm
Paris (CEST) - 9pm
India (IST) - 1am
Singapore (SGT) - 4am
Japan (JST) - 5am

That would be 2 hours later than predicted by Engadget!

Do you think that Steve is the one with control over that particular red button?

Steve doesn't have direct control over the button. He's too busy holding the leash that is connected to the collar that is wrapped around the neck of the employee with the button.
 
posted this in another thread too..........................

man you guys sure know how to make a billion threads on one subject....


here's what you want to know..

Stop hitting F5, iPhone OS 3.0 release still hours away?

You can refresh all you want but that won't make the 3.0 update for your iPhone appear any faster. In fact, you might want to give your trigger finger a rest for a few hours -- Engadget bud, Richard Lai, noted in a tweet that Apple's Singapore site says that the iPhone OS 3.0 update will release on the 18th while Apple India says the 17th, the date announced by Apple -- the difference presumably accounting for the 2.5-hour timezone offset between the two countries. That would peg an OS 3.0 release anytime between 1700 and 1930 in London or between noon and 2:30pm in New York. But don't let a little knowledge ruin your obsessive behavior, where's the fun in that?

Update: The theory is supported by reports that carrier 3 in Hong Kong sent a network-wide SMS notifying iPhone owners that OS 3.0 will be available on June 18th, 01:00 local time. That's 1pm on the 17th in New York, 6pm in London, and 1900 in central Europe.

3.0 might be rolled out in some time. i see some changes in the site for AU.
instead of the date, they now have "Updating is easy"

Actually, I'm in South Australia. The AUS Apple home page of the iPhone section now says "available now" under the 3.0 icon; However, I've tried to snyc my iPhone and it still saying 2.2.1 is the current. It must be getting close?

I've just gone back and I also now see that it says "Available June 18". Apple AU folks jumped the gun a bit I think? Wow, what a rare capture i must have made. I also noted the "updating is easy" link's pictures are all showing as broken links.
 
That would be noon cst which is when I plan to wake up after going back to sleep now.


See ya...

The dumb thing is I could upgrade now, but decided to wait for the official release. Oh well...

Please refer to the screen print I did when I saw it. It's what I saw, there's the AUS store badge in the bottom right corner. I'm not capable of any wizardry/photoshop to alter that...

Holy crap, another 2 hours added. That sux.
 
i dont reckon it will be that late.
too many rumours about 6pm here, plus what o2 said, plus it ties in with what others have been told. and the timezone very clever calculation that someone did looking at the day change in different countries.
so my guess is 6pm.
 
yes it is when your back hurts from sitting here all day
BUT i do have to go out for a bit, and i would much rather it not be released till i get back
plus i have 3 iphones and 3 ipods to update so i may be here all night.

does anyone know if i will have to pay for os 3,0 for EACH ipod touch eek hadnt thought of that till now,
