We tried to enter the Apple analyst business by speculating about unannounced products. Like a lot of other analysts, we got things partially right and in contrast to other analysts we are willing to state this explicitly. So, here is our reality check:
iPhone OS 4.0 beta will be introduced
Well, almost. It’s version 3.2 beta. But we got the beta part right, right 
?
New iPod Touches will be introduced
Nope. Completely wrong 
.
We won’t see a new version of the iPhone (later this year though)
Yesssss! We totally got this right. Well, actually it’s quite easy to speculate about things not to happen .
Yes! We think that a Tablet prototype will be shown (released date June)
Another hit! Well we don’t know the exact release date yet, but we are definitely close .
Ok, so we have 0.5 points for claim one (the beta should be worth half a point), zero points for claim 2, one point for claim 3 and 0.75 points for claim 4 (-0.25 points for the release date), which gives us a total of 2.25 points out of 4. Wow! We’d say, we made the cut for analysts .
