I live 80 miles from where Jobs will take the stage. It's 4.11 PM here on the 8th. You will have to wait! :D

I am more interested in Snow Leopard and if it's for real, only runs on Intel Macs and only runs on 64 Bit Intel Macs! Main reason is every Mac I have is either a G4, G5 or 32-Bit Intel.

I've got about £400 coming in this week... I can see that being swiftly converted to an iPhone, but knowing my luck they'd sell out.

The iPhone is much more popular in Europe than I ever thought. I have sold several on ebay all of them have gone to either Ireland or the U.K. I can't really blame them with the weak dollar.It's a good deal for them.

I already have a 16Gb iPhone on o2. They have been sold out of all iPhones for a while now so hopefully thats the sign about the worst kept secret in Apple history! Anyway here's hoping that they will offer some kind of upgrade route for those of us who have already bought one! I'm certainly not paying out bucket loads of dosh just for 3G and possibly GPS but I would like them! I'm saving all my money at the moment for a new 17" macbook pro with hires screen. With the montevina chipset it is likely to be DDR3 sodimms so thats £300 for the 4Gb kit rather than £60 !!! (or £450 if Apple implement montevina's triple channel interface and we get a 6Gb limit!)

Well, it's still the eighth here in the states. You still have about 16+ hours to keep refreshing. I would go outside and do something.

I think I might actually get it. I'm between the Samsung Instinct and the new iPhone.

I'm just going to see how it all turns out. I am 'between plans' right now, so I kind of have time.

My contract was up a few months ago and I've just been hanging on trying to find a phone I actually LIKE.

And yes, I am still awake yet another hour later :)

It kills me how everyone other than pretty much California residents have to wait till mid-day or mid-evening to get all the news.
