Hmm - the Register are claiming that Apple have said the software is delayed until "tomorrow" -
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/06/17/iphone_3/
I find the article a bit sus though, since it's very vague generally on how this was announced (before 9.51 GMT apparently) and it's not been picked up or reported anywhere else. I can't find anything to back this up on the Apple site, which still says June 17th. Also, the article's by Bill Ray, who'll generally use any excuse to take a cheap shot at the iPhone and its users... so I wonder if this is just a poor writeup of the "story" that the OS won't be coming out till later today, which will be tomorrow for some of us outside the US...
EDIT - lack-of-panic over, the Reg have admitted their mistake -

EDIT 2 - the terrible thing is, since they've clearly embarrassed themselves The Register have taken both these stories off the front page. But while the first incorrect story above is still there if you click the link, the second one - correcting it and admitting they got it wrong - has been deleted altogether. Bit pathetic really.

There are lots of rumours but the semi-official time I keep seeing is 6pm (BST). That makes sense as it's roughly the same time as the WWDC keynote last week and seems to be when Apple starts it's day..

Anyone had this: We could not complete your Itunes store request. The network connection timed out.
What does it mean

Annoyingly, once your phone updates it has to to be "reactivated", presumably to verify that you're still you and your phone is stil yours, or somesuch. Anyway, to do that iTunes has to check in with Apple's verification servers (or the iTunes store as it calls it), and guess who else is trying to connect to those servers right now? Yep, the other 40 million people updating to OS 3 today!
Anyway it worked for me eventually after I clicked back and forth in iTunes for a while and sat through a few more of thoses messages as above. All seems worth it so far, I'm copying and pasting like a champ and the landscape keyboard's nice too. Best surprise so far has been to find Googlemaps is back in miles again for the UK! That's worth the update alone!
