Many of Apple’s online stores (in countries that do not yet have the iPhone) are currently showing the message “We are busy updating the store for you and will be back shortly.” What could this be for… Hmmm… Possibly the 3G iPhone? New Macbooks? If I were a betting man, I’d say 3G iPhone (and maybe new Macbooks) But it’s pretty much definite that Steve Jobs is to announce a new version of iPhone, and there are several rumours that the new iPhone will be available worldwide after the announcement.

It all seems pretty obvious, but who knows, perhaps it’s routine maintenance, or a marketing ploy by Apple. Just be ready for the possibility of buying the new iPhone today.
