Are you one of the people who keep clicking ‘Check for Update’ in Apple iTunes, only to get the message ‘this version of the iPhone software (2.2.1) is current version’. How disappointing?
Well Engadget are reporting that it could be hours before the iPhone OS 3.0 update is released. So it seems you can keep clicking all you want, but you wont get it any quicker.
While times zones vary, we are hearing that Apple India has the iPhone 3.0 release set for the 17th, Apple’s Singapore site has the release date for the day after (18th).
The latest rumors suggest an OS 3.0 release time of 2:30pm in New York and 1700 and 1930 in London.

According to O2 in the UK it will be released this evening: http://shop.o2.co.uk/update/index.html
7:30 am (Florida) and nothing yet… well 2.2.1…
Thanks for the update. Good to know.
From another site….
Today all hungry iPhone users should see the iPhone OS 3.0 update released, but for iPhoner’s in the UK it is still a few hours away and should arrive in the UK between 5 and 7PM according to Pocket-lint.
Obviously lucky iPhoner’s over in the States will hit iPhone OS 3.0 first with an estimated arrival time of about 2:30PM in New York. Europe should see iPhone OS 3.0 hit between 4 and 6PM.
The word is that due to time differences, Apple Singapore will gain the iPhone OS 3.0 update on the 18th but Apple India is scheduled for the 17th.
Ahh so i’m not the only one doing it. LOL
I wonder what is taking Apple so long? I wonder if there will be a separate charge for MMS once we are able to use the feature in OS 3.0. Or will it cost the same under the normal sms plan?
RELEASED!!!! 1:14 pm EST
Now available in the UK
os 3.0 available at 10:30am PDT (gmt-8)
