Still no luck

Well, it's been 3 hours since the initial install and there has been no movement on getting connected to iTunes.

I have a scary hypothesis. Care to hear it?

The iPhone Software Update 2.0 installs the OS first then reactivates it through iTunes. Now all the iPhone 3G users are buying their phones and getting them activated at the store. If the activation for both phones are on the same server, then we are in for some trouble.

There are an estimate of 6 million users of the Gen 1 iPhones, and who knows how many iPhone 3G have been sold? With all these people trying to get on the same server we have the reason why the servers are down.

cheers..
