I’ve compiled a list of my predictions for this week’s Apple announcement using Prediction.app. I’ll post an update Wednesday to see how I scored.
Update: Looks like I got a 21.5 out of 37 (58%). Though I have to say I’m quite glad to have been wrong on a few like the docking mechanism and the price.
