Apple to sell new iPhone in stores at 7.a.m Friday
Not to be outdone by AT&T's 7 a.m. pre-order pickup on the iPhone 3G S launch day, Apple on Wednesday moved its doors-open time to 7 a.m., an hour ahead of the previous schedule.
Unlike AT&T, Apple isn't saving the early line for those already committed to an iPhone and will let on-the-spot purchasers buy an iPhone at that time in addition to those who already signed up for service at home. Apple also expects this timeframe to hold across all countries rather than just the US, which should lead to some of the countries in the first wave of the iPhone launch receiving their units before those in North America have fallen asleep.
In the US, six Apple retail stores will be closed for remodeling at the time of the launch.

I guess its too much to hope for bug fixes (for Safari 4) this quick?
As soon as tabs on top are back just gimme a call...
I wont be updating to Safari 4 (final) until they add the option to use Top Menu Bar Tabs. I'll use Safari 4 Beta until I can't, and if they don't add this option back in, I'll just go back to using Camino if I have to use bottom tabs again.
Bluetooth firmware update also makes it possible for MacBook Air (I have a first gen) to be tethered to iPhone via BT successfully.
I'll be there
