I said there would be no hardware announcements -- no new iMacs, no MacBook Thin/MacBook Thin no new iPods. I nailed that one, though I would have loved to have been wrong.
However, I predicted that Apple would refresh its display line, adding iSights to the entire Cinema Display line. Didn't happen.
I also predicted that Apple might release some sort of software development kit for the iPhone. I sorta got that one, though instead of a SDK, Apple says [url=http://www.macsimumnews.com/index.php/archive/wwdc_the_solution_for_iphone_development_safari/]developers can use Safari[/url].
As for Mac OS X 10.5 ("Leopard") here what's I predicted: "I think Apple will unveil new, major interface changes that take advantage of [url=http://www.apple.com/macosx/leopard/coreanimation.html]Core Animation[/url], which allows programmers to give their applications flashy, animated interfaces. However, I don't think that, as some pundits are forecasting, Apple will add the ability to run Windows and/or Windows apps directly in Leopard. My crystal ball says they'll stick with Boot Camp for those who wish to run Windows."
I was right on the virtualization/Boot Camp note. And Leopard is getting lots of new bells and whistles, but not the "major" interface change I'd forecast.
Of course, I didn't see the [url=http://www.macsimumnews.com/index.php/archive/wwdc_safari_coming_to_windows/]"Safari on Windows" announcement coming, though it makes sense. Like the iPod, iTunes and the Apple TV, this could be one of those things that could lead non-Mac users to our favorite computing platform.
Anyway, I'll conclude with some tidbits from Jobs' keynote that we didn't mention yesterday:
° In Safari 3, tabs can be dragged around and even dropped into other Safari windows. You can download a beta of Safari 3 [url=http://www.apple.com/safari]here[/url].
° The Apple Developer Connection has 950,000 members, up 200,000 from last year.
° According to Jobs, 67 percent of the 22 million users of OS X are using Mac OS X 10.4 ("Tiger").
° There are more than 3,000 Dashboard widgets.
° Leopard Mail will offer more ways to customize and add personal style to email than ever before, with more than 30 stationery designs and layouts
° Leopard iCal will introduce group calendaring features based on the open CalDAV standard.
