Nailed it:
- I said iPhone OS 4.0 Golden Master would be released to developers tomorrow. I was right on the money here. Of course, I also said Scott Forstall would announce it, but it did happen.
- I predicted they'd have two or three developers take the stage and give demos.
- Steve did make wise-crack references to the stolen iPhone 4 prototype.
- I nailed most of the features of iPhone 4 correctly -- and the one that didn't pan out -- touch sensitive rear casing, I mentioned I was skeptical on it.
- I didn't think we'd hear anything about a CDMA iPhone tomorrow.
Kinda got it right:
- Safari 5 and Xcode 4 were both released yesterday, they just weren't talked about at the keynote. I don't consider this a complete miss since they still happened, but it's a miss in that they
A swing and a miss:
- Magic trackpad? I should've realized how dead simple this would be to Photoshop and been more skeptical. However, in recent announcements, leak that come the day of the announcement have traditionally been legit. Regardless, I jumped on the bangwagon full force on this one and was DEAD wrong.
- MobileMe tiering? I didn't talk about this like a lead pipe lock, but I did go to the trouble of describing Phil Schiller taking the stage to talk about it, and it didn't remotely happen.
I have to admit I was honestly surprised at how long they talked about the new iPhone 4. I think it's clear that this is the biggest quantum leap forward since the original iPhone and it is a MAJOR update, so it's obvious now (in hindsight) why they wanted to spend so much time talking about it.
