Fear Not, U.S. iPhone Fans, The 3.0 Update IS Coming Today on TechCrunch

Well, that was a close call. I’ll admit, I was tricked too at first by a link going around on Twitter right now stating that the iPhone 3.0 software’s launch was pushed to tomorrow. It’s an Apple site that lists the launch date for the update as June 18, tomorrow. The only problem is that the site is Apple’s Singapore website

Reporters are always looking for story ideas and it matters to be quick.  But the news has to be accurate. This writer almost wrote the wrong article, thus a "close call."
