last year, the 2.0 software showed up in apples xml files on their server before it was officially released.

im sure there are many people watching that stuff like a hawk?
 
i dont think they found the download link for the 3g and 2g...

i know the link for the 3g S is out


....but im talking about the 3g or 2g since those links would be of actual use to us right now :)

I just googled "apple software update XML" and got:

http://swscan.apple.com/content/catalogs/index.sucatalog

Thats the Mac OS X Software Update xml.


The iTunes update xml is at:

http://ax.phobos.apple.com.edgesuit....appserver.client.MZITunesClientCheck/version

I imagine the 3.0 update will appear there first.
 
They'd be better off releasing it at midnight cupertino time (which is most likely to happen. That way the servers won't get totally hammered
 
are you kidding me, i have had 3.0 on my phone for about a week, who says that it is not out for the 3G and 2G?

you clearly have no clue what we are talking about.

the only way you have the 3.0 GM is if you are in the developers program, or you pirated it (aka STOLE it from the developers)

we're talking about the legit posting of the firmware onto apple's servers

well it doesnt matter because it is going to be the same version
 
yeah that post was me trying to be cool. im just saying tons of people on this forum have had it. there are many threads about it

yes a lot of people here have it....but the overwhelming majority doesn't, simply because we want to do the right thing...


it's called integrity :)


i seriously have no problem with the people who downloaded early, my point is just that this thread has nothing to do with the pirated firmware, it has to do with apple actually beginning the release process (to the general public that is)
