A few last minute changes:
8. Recap Apple Store openings, millions of visitors, photos of New York, Boston and Sydney stores, "more people to look at your apps"
9. Outline the rest of the Keynote: "Today we're going to talk about OS X." OS X iPhone, OS X Leopard, etc. "One OS on iPhone, iPod (touch), Mac, and
tv"...
16. "Wouldn't it be great if...", talk up need for faster internet, other hardware features missing in original iPhone...
...
20. Available soon! In stores by Friday June 27.
And then at Macworld, a new surge of whining that lasts until WWDC 2009
It's a vicious cycle.
My prediction is that regardless of what Mr. Jobs announces or what new products may come out, for the next week 98% of posts on MacRumors will be sprinkled with words like "deal-breaker", "what were they thinking?", "it will never sell", "what they should have done is...", etc. etc. etc.
That's just a guess though.
Although the thread never took off, here are the potential winners. I'm leaning towards iMpathetic. However, we will have to wait until Macworld to see.
The keynote was rather uneventful in my opinion--however, I am just a consumer (and a damn good one at that). All eyes on Macworld.
Your end to the endless speculation prediction lost you some points. Hahaha. Because I still see that going on here.
Although If more people say you won then I'll pick you as the winner. I just thought iMpathetic had a better prediction but this is a democracy so others can feel free to choose the winner.
Its cheaper for me to pick iMpathetic. So I may be biased. However, I am a man of my word...so what do others here think?
but when you say 'prediction' it should be a prediction of the actual products released, not a smart assed comment.
It's like asking who will win the NBA finals and picking the winner as someone who says "lol, the TV networks".
Plus, the endless speculation has ended. I don't see any more "3G iPhone has GPS/hasn't GPS/is bigger/ is smaller/ is 32GB/ is 8GB etc etc".

I was obviously joking when I picked iMpathetic as the winner (although his prediction does span 6-7 months and is arguable very accurate)
Compliments; I must say that you were right on with your prediction. It was great how you didn't have anything predicted that wasn't announced. Even the "on the fence" prediction of Snow Leopard was accurate in a sense.
I was thinking of the award being a donation to Mac Rumors in your name. If you are OK with that, I would like to do it. I just have to get in touch with the admins to see if that is possible.
If not I will send you a dime via USPS.
