Apple has confirmed that iPhone OS 3.0 will be available today. The real question is when? Maybe you're refreshing the iPhone OS 3.0 page on Apple's site like a crazy person, maybe you're tracking Twitter for the exact instant someone shouts that the update is live. Whatever you're doing, we have a few things you can be doing to help pass the time.

- Back up your iPhone. Seriously, you're going to updating the OS on your iPhone. It's a good idea to have a solid backup before you begin the process.

- Update all your apps. While Apple's servers are only getting partially hammered by its throngs of fans, you can queue up all the updates that are available.

- Call your Dad. It's Father's Day on Sunday, get a jump on your weekend duty. He'll appreciate it and you'll have more time on Sunday to master copy and paste.

- Go pick up donuts. Nothing makes the day breeze on by like fried dough with sugar on it.

- Watch Arrested Development on Hulu. That's what we would be doing if we had the time. We do love those Bluths.

- Update your Flickr feed with pics of you waiting for the iPhone OS update. We're sure it'll be truly riveting stuff.  

- Make friends with the new guy down the hall. Maybe he has some inside information about Apple. You never know!

- Clean your fridge. It's a horrible mess.
