WTF? Your iPhone activation session has expired...

Just received no iPhone 4 - plug it in, finds my number, asks for zip and last four digits of SSN then promptly gives me:

Your iPhone activation session has expired.
To restart your iPhone activation, please disconnect and reattach your iPhone now. Please make sure that your computer has the correct date time and time zone set.

So what's the problem???

3.2Ghz Mac Pro, 24-inch iMac and 2.53Ghz Aluminum MacBook, Mac OS X (10.6.3), iPhone 32g 3GS, iPad 3GS

Being a former Apple employee I restarted my machine. That did the trick. If you get the Session Timed Out Message I suggest you restart your machine. Leave your new iPhone plugged in.

Activation was very fast.

Mine also asked to be unplugged and then reconnected but I dont think that I got the expired message. maybe it is just an influx of people trying to activate at one time.
