Just saw this while watching the nightly news, simple demonstration of the Google apps with a big bold "June 29th" at the end. I guess that release date is set after all.
Just saw it. June 29th it is. Gotta love Apple. June means June 29th and summer means the last day of summer, etc.
Apple and AT&T Wireless used a trio of television advertisements on Sunday to announce that iPhone will be available beginning on Friday, June 29th.
The ads were first spotted on CBS network television at around 7:00 p.m. eastern time on Sunday. Each demonstrates a few of the handset's functions, ending with an Apple logo and the caption, "Coming June 29th."
AppleInsider recently cited sources in saying that Apple planned to launch the inaugural Apple handset on Friday, June 29th.
All three ads -- "Never Been an iPod," "Calamari," and "How To" -- have since been posted to Apple's website:
Never Been an iPod
Calamari
How To

Pretty much as I figured. On a Friday, at the end of the month.
Chaos will ensue at ATT and Apple stores nationwide that weekend. Should be fun to watch.

Well, that would seem to match what Steve said...
