iPhone 3G demo units are going, going....

Clayton Morris noted on his blog Sunday that iPhone 3G demo units have been removed from display at his local Apple store.

While it is not uncommon to see one or two displays missing for various reasons, Clayton noted that there were at least nine units missing from the main iPhone display tables. Couple this with reports from some Apple stores that they have additional staff scheduled for the next couple of weeks (starting today), and you have some pretty good signs that the new iPhone model might just be available today.

So now that we know the phone and 3.0 aren't coming out today, what could have been the meaning of this?

If you try to buy an iphone at att.com, you get a sitemap, the same for a broken page. http://www.wireless.att.com/iphone/

My local Best Buy was missing iPhone demo units this weekend too (it's a location that has one of the mini Apple stores inside.)

Anyone thought of the fact that maybe the 3g units with the 2.x firmware are being pulled so that that the 3g Units with 3.x firmware can go out and the actual new iPhone itself will still have a highly anticipated July launch? Makes sense to me....

I'd say that's a good sign that the 3.0 will be released today but no new hardware. The geniuses probably have them in the back and are updating their firmware.

I'm wondering if they may have pulled them to replace them with OS 3.0 based models, instead of new physical hardware.

Can't wait to know what is coming. I already got surprised when my software update today caught an updated iTunes for the new iPhone OS 3.0 http://twitpic.com/6wnki
