Like the subject says, will it be available midnight like the preorders, or do they have a time of day they do it?

It will be available for download when Apple releases it. It's extremely doubtful that it will be before late morning, PST. I'm guessing around 10 am PST, but we don't know for sure. It will not be available at midnight.
Does Apple allow everyone to d/l the newest version of iOS at the same time, or is it released in waves as is typical of Android releases from carriers?
Does anyone know if it will be available as an OTA update from the GM version?

I'm gonna take a guess and say 12Pacific and 3am eastern time. I think they will make some kind of announcement.
To the original thread starter. If you are pumped about Ios5. Just download the iosGM which is the same version all the Iphone4S's will get and is clean and out of beta. And than install it via Itunes. Just click Shift plus restore and choose the ios ipsw file you downloaded and there you go.

Newb question i guess cuz ive downloaded ios's before apart from itunes, but essentially their isnt anything different from the ipsw download than the one ios that will come out on wednesday? other than its coming from 3rd party site than apple itunes?
The "download" will not occur apart from iTunes. It will be the official, available to everyone iOS 5.0 software. Simply connect your phone to your computer, open iTunes and click CHECK FOR UPDATE on the iPhone (device) summary page.
iTunes will then download the proper version of iOS for your device and install it when the download is complete.
My question didn't make sense I guess. What I meant was, if I download the gold master iOS 5 now from 3rd party site, will it be the same as if I got it directly from iTunes on Wednesday. Point: I want iOS 5 early.
