iPhone 2.0 download is a beta. Wait ten hours and get the real deal.
Recommend ThisWhile there are overseas bloggers gleefully disassembling their just-purchased iPhone 3Gs, proving that no price is too high for 100,000 hits, the U.S. won't see iPhone 3G or the iPhone 2.0 software download until Friday, 7/11, at 8 AM. If you must be among the first in the States to see iPhone 2.0, Dylan Tweney's Wired blog, citing (without linking to) a post to Macrumors on iPhone 2.0 software download for existing iPhones, has instructions for downloading the iPhone 2.0 software image directly from Apple's servers.
Hold the phone, people.
The Macrumors post has the link to the Apple download removed. Macrumors also makes it clear that the download is a beta. An iPhone developer just might have played a bit fast and loose with his non-disclosure agreement. Apple can't really take the download link down--developers need it, and while it's a bit silly, iPhone developer program software isn't locked away in the Apple Developer Connection site with the rest of Apple's unreleased treasures.
Be a mensch. Go have a pizza and some beers, and by the time you wake up tomorrow, iPhone 2.0 will be there.
