Hopefully earlier. 😀 Or if it is 12 midnight let it be EST. I'm in Mountain time, so it would come earlier in the evening for me. 🙂

It doesn't matter, as long as you have internet, no matter where you are you can download it from cydia.

i thought it say New Years Eve

New Year's Eve. So if December 31st is New Year's Eve, then I'd say a guesstimate would be around 2PM Eastern Time US would be a good choice; however, they could go with 0:00:01AM Dec 31st....

lol, the intrigue for many 3G owners...

I am hoping for Midnight also, early plane to catch and want to try this 3G on my trip.

Excuse my ignorance; but what's a soft unlock?

A software unlock. One with just software. As opposed to a hardware unlock; the original required soldering and current 3G unlocks require a TurboSIM.

Pardon MY ignorance, but what the hell is this software unlock that's supposed to happen Jan. 1?

On the dev team blog it says and I quote:

"The target release date for the unlock is New Year’s Eve 2008."
