Now one of those is an Apple store which I won't be able to use for my upgrade. However there is then another outlet nearby that I can use. After skulking about the place I approached a http://musingsonamac.com/blog/2008/07/eight-hours-to-go.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (M)tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22009487.post-5724070123097540725Thu, 10 Jul 2008 14:08:00 +00002008-07-10T15:18:08.028+01:00Some very industrious people here found the update file early.

I got an exceedingly helpful person - who really put my mind at rest. As it happened he used to live and work near the area I was discussing so knew all the four outlets I'll be able to go to. The person said it was going to be available in Apple stores but expressed genuine unknowing about upgrade paths etc. in Apple stores. http://musingsonamac.com/blog/2008/07/iphone-paranoia.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (M)tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22009487.post-4233072939199345207Mon, 07 Jul 2008 07:43:00 +00002008-07-07T08:53:12.946+01:00Is running like a dog with no legs. I eventually got redirected to https://upgrades.o2.co.uk/failover/index.html I can't decide what to do - since this isn't guaranteed for Friday launch - where as I could go to an O2 store on Friday.
