Well, I'm downloading it now. I'll wait on my wife and daughter's though, just in case there are problems.
Keeping my fingers crossed (figuratively!). |

My 2nd gen touch (32gb) with 2.2.2 sees that the update is available, but clicking "update" from within iTunes just loops me back to the, "an update is available" (nothing installs).
Perhaps the servers are overwhelmed with nerds like me trying to be the first to download, first to comment....?
I have seen the future, and it's my mac mini server. I love that little guy...

Come on Dev Team.
Fanboys will diss on OLED displays--until the iPhone gets one. And get one it will. I have always loved them. Always! Daylight crap, blah!

Downloading it now...been checking very frequently, so it must have just gone live minutes ago. Will post pack if I notice "snappiness"! (Also, my wife will be getting a 3GS as a new phone and I'll be hanging on to the 3G. Will be interesting to see how much snappier her phone is)

Great, now to dig up the jailbreak software for 3.0 so my iPod touch actually stays useful.

Looks like they were ready |

How do I get iTunes to recognize it's available if I'm already running a beta version of 3.0?

Download Speeds Slowed Way Down
I started out downloading at around 1.2 to 1.3 MB/sec it slowed down to about 200KB/sec still not bad didn't take too long for the download. I can only imagine the surge to hit Apple's servers!

Installed!
Looks great. Seems faster (like after you reboot). Haven't tested all the apps, but the core apps seem to work fine. Seems to be syncing with Outlook and MobileMe.
Heading to lunch to tinker and play. Good luck all. |

It's done, and the phone is syncing.
Wait... The phone turned off and back on with the Apple logo. now there's the progress bar, which is slowly moving across.. Real-time folks. Exciting! Bar is about 15% across. |

You'll have to restore in iTunes. This will cause a new build download.
