Sound the alarm: The US Apple Store is down

When checking the Apple Store (US) this morning, we found that familiar yellow sticky note. It's probably some sort of maintenance – I don't imagine there would be an unannounced update just after the iPod event.

Or maybe preparations are being made for that $100 credit iPhone early adopters were promised. In any case, we'll keep you posted. Has anyone found that online stores outside the US are down as well?

Thanks to everyone who sent this in!
