June 29th, iPhone release date. It's official.
Apple sure threw us a curve ball today, with rumors circulating around the interwebs of some sort of announcement of a release date, Apple soft announces through an advertisement during CBS's 60 Minutes. Now, June 29th will be the day the iPhone hits the streets. No exact words on specific territories, or any sort of formal press release, but it's on.
UPDATE: Apple's got better quality versions up on their site now.
