It looks like the iPhone 3.0 software will be available around 1PM ET, according to Engadget. Just in the interest of being contrarian and optimistic, we say give it a go around noon ET.
And if you get it, let us know, either in the comments, or on twitter @TDLLive .
Oh, and if you post video to YouTube, we really want to know to add it to the video loop.
The folks at ifixit.com flew to New Zealand to be among the first to get an iPhone 3G, and definitely among the first to tear one apart. Looking over their findings so far, perhaps the biggest surprise is the battery is NOT soldered in the phone. This should make battery swap far easier, although still off limits to the end user.

We're looking around the App Store awaiting the "official" firmware 2.0 release. Couple of things stick out as we look around:
1. There aren't quite as many free apps as we had hoped (perhaps 150)
2. There's a tag for "objectionable content" intended for audiences 12 or over. The first app we've seen with this tag allows you to basically see a beer on the screen. That's about it.
3. Some of these titles look amazing. The iPhone should be on its way to truly being a third platform.
Again, join us at noon, when we hope to have live video of the apps.
