Is Apple going to release 3.0 on the 8th at WWDC? If so, how will the release happen? Will we just get a notification via iTunes? Will we need to go and download it from Apple's site?

It'll almost certainly just show up in iTunes like every previous version.

I think it's pretty likely 3.0 will be released within a few days of the WWDC keynote. If it's not then, it'll show up on the release day of the new iPhone hardware. Like last year, that'll probably be roughly a month from the keynote.

Time will tell.

We will definitely see 3.0 demo'ed at WWDC.

I think the general 3.0 release depends a bit on the iPhone 2009. I could imagine Apple doesn't necessarily want to release 3.0 for the iPhone 3G before they get all the media buzz for the iPhone 2009. But that's just a gut feeling.
