Apple Store down (fixed)It’s happening, people. It’s like the sounding of a gong before pundits launch into the prayer service in Indian temples. It’s the signal that something is afoot in Cupertino right now and, in a scant two hours from now, Steve Jobs will take the stage and let us know what the big hubbub is about this time.

If it needs further spelling out, we’d like to let you know that as of this writing, both the Apple Online Store and the iPhone Dev Center are down on their knees, with the promise that they’ll be back in action soon.

It’s speculation season right now, so I’m guessing this disruption in the state of affairs means that we might see the launch of both the 3G iPhone and the software v2.0 today itself. The .Mac service, however, is up and running currently, oblivious to the commotion going around right now. Maybe all that chatter about “MobileMe” was just rumormongering after all?

Whatever it is, we can’t wait to hear (or read) what Jobs has up his sleeve today. Be sure to make your presence felt at the live coverage that Macworld so lovingly crafts out for you during every Jobsian keynote.

Update: Just in case our non-U.S. readers were feeling a little left out, you should know that all Apple Online Stores across the globe are currently sharing the U.S. Apple Store’s plight. Let it be known far and wide, no one will be spared from the attack of the iPhones (hopefully!).
