Today is the day well one of two big days for Apple this week, iOS 8 will be available this afternoon.  You can download the new iOS OTA (Over the Air) or connect it to iTunes.  If you are doing the OTA option make sure you are connected to wifi.  The usual time for the release is 1PM EST time (10AM PT Time) and the Apple servers are usually bombarded so don't be surprised if the download takes some time or you run into errors when trying to get it.

This geek will be amongst the fray to get the new iOS!
