Apple's iPhone developer NDA to expire tomorrow?
According to a recent TechCrunch post, iPhone developers have received an e-mail from the Apple mothership saying the iPhone developer NDAs (non-disclosure agreements; i.e. "hush hush notices") will expire tomorrow at 9 a.m. PST. What does this mean? Well, it could mean that the AppStore and iPhone 2.0 software might be available to the public at that time as well. iTunes 7.7 has been rumored to be "right around the corner," and .Mac has already already started it's face-lift procedure.
We should note that this is definitely a rumor at this point. We have not been able to verify TechCrunch's rumor. In fact, our sources tell us that they have not received any such e-mail.

Well lets hope they open the app store when the 2.0 firmware drops. Without the app store the 2.0 firmware isn't really that exciting.

It all seems to be falling together all too well to be rumours.

I am excited about iphone 2.0 updates that don't involve the app store. MobileMe is going to be huge for me!

Apple would totally rock if they upgraded to a graphing calculator.

Seems likely, considering Australia will start selling iPhones at midnight (7 am pacific time), according to http://macworld.com.au/iphone/view/optus-to-open-doors-at-midnight-522, so it makes sense that iTunes 7.7, App Store and SU 2.0 will be available around that time.
It'd be nice to get confirmation from any iPhone devs, though.

Thats a very good point. Probably easier for Apple just to release it than try to keep its release on a regional basis.

I am excited about things other than the app store.

I keep hitting refresh to see if there is any new tidbit of info to keep me up past my bedtime. I have been playing with ical and address book for the past couple of hours and I have learned about 10 new cool things that will be obsolete in about 4 hours.:)))))))

Bedtime? What's that?

Would be quite interesting... but Apple DOES usually keep their word on releases.
I WOULD love 2.0 a day early though... APPLE ARE YOU LISTENING?

iTunes 7.7 should arrive < 113 hours :P

The Omni Group is releasing OmniFocus 1.1 on the 10th (tomorrow) with MobileMe Syncing and an iPhone version according to the notes in the patch that just went out tonight. So I'd say it's definite, the App Store will be live on the 10th with new firmware arriving as well.
