You can refresh all you want but that won't make the 3.0 update for your iPhone appear any faster. In fact, you might want to give your trigger finger a rest for a few hours --
Engadget bud, Richard Lai, noted in a tweet that Apple's Singapore site says that the iPhone OS 3.0 update will release on the 18th while Apple India says the 17th,
the date announced by Apple -- the difference presumably accounting for the 2.5-hour timezone offset between the two countries. That would peg an OS 3.0 release anytime between 1700 and 1930 in London or between noon and 2:30pm in New York. But don't let a little knowledge ruin your obsessive behavior, where's the fun in that?
Update: The theory is supported by reports that carrier
3 in Hong Kong sent a network-wide SMS
notifying iPhone owners that OS 3.0 will be available on June 18th, 01:00 local time. That's 1pm on the 17th in New York, 6pm in London, and 1900 in central Europe.[Via

I'm so, so, sorry.
One time when I was a younger lad I thought I had won a Batmobile from Taco Bell because when I peeled the sticker I saw a picture of the Batmobile and big text that said WINNER. I screamed that I had won in the store and was very excited. I then noticed I had won 1 FREE TACO...
You now feel my shame
looks like we have a case of Chronoptomistry!
A person who always under estimates the time necessary to do something or get somewhere.
"Hey, Cindy. you know my parents are expecting us in 20 minutes."
"No problem. I just have to wash the dishes, take a shower, do my hair, walk the dog and then I'm all good to go. See you in 15."
"You are such a chronoptimist! I'll see you in 45."
"The Apple iphone 3.0 update will be at 1:00pm EST"
