Earlier today, during his WWDC 07 Keynote address, Steve Jobs said that the iPhone would be released on June 29, which “is 18 days from now. At, uh, 6PM.” This was said to a chuckle. I’m afraid he was joking, folks. He seemed very “off the prompter” when he said it, as a light-hearted aside.

Look for the iPhone to be available when your local AT&T or Apple store opens its doors, whatever time that might be. And don’t line up, it’s not Star Wars or something.
