Some enterprising individual has figured out the url for the iPhone’s 2.0 firmware update file. So even though iTunes tells you there are no updates available, you can manually download it and force iTunes to install it.

Then 15 minutes later you’ll be on 2.0 and can install all those tasty new apps!

I’ll post a video of me running the update on my phone in just a few minutes…
