There was some confusion over Steve Jobs’ mention that the iPhone would be released at 6PM on June 29th. Was he talking about Cupertino local time, PST, or EST? Well, we get word today from MacRumors that Stevie was referring to 6PM in your local time zone – which means that when your clock’s little hand is one the “6″ and the big hand is on the “12″ you better be in line at the Apple or AT&T store.

The magical 6PM launch is likely linked to the next-day shipping cutoff for Apple’s distribution system – FedEx. So it looks like the iPhones are going to literally be flying off the shelves faster than they can get stocked – FedEx drops them off, Apple sells them out.

So, get ready to hit your Apple or AT&T store on launch day at 6PM in your local time, we’ll see you in line!
