Love it and ordered mine a few days ago. I was bummed when my old monster car charger with lineout wasn't compatible (at least for charging) with my iPhone. Now I can get back to pushing out some line out music goodness to my car's 11 speakers.

Mine?

OK mine finally got in touch with the iTunes store and activated. I am not sure why it has to talk to the iTunes store after installation but I guess they're servers were flooded with requests.

Exact same symptoms here. Though iTunes does recognize my iPhone when I plug in, I simply get the white screen with 'iPhone' in the middle of it. And I get the connect to iTunes screen on my iPhone as you say.

Yeah. This utterly sucks. I'm on AT&T here in the US. Why is iTunes trying to connect to the store when I click on my iPhone in the left pane of iTunes?

Well I downloaded and installed 3.0, iTunes prompted me that the iPhone would show up in iTunes after a reboot, but then I saw another progress bar on my iPhone as it rebooted, only to end up on the emergency call screen. Now everytime I click on my iPhone from within iTunes, it tries accessing the iTunes store and returns a cannot connect to store error message (-4) or something. Brick city baby.
