Correct predictions (Over 50%): Xeon Mac Pro, New Xcode, Spotlight Performance.

Really all these were almost certain to happen, so our predictions really sucked. I give up. I rather just be wowed at the stuff that does get introduced and be surprised instead of being disappointed about some of the things that were rumored and didn't come. However, there are still lots of cool toys in Leopard that have not been disclosed and even the stuff that has been announced and not rumored were pretty good. Now, I can't wait to see what the shipping version Leopard will be like next spring.

Mac Pro

• 2+ GHz Core 2 Duo or Xeon Chips ( 30%/70% )

- turns out to be really reasonable with developer discount :D

MacBook Pro (2nd Generation)

• I put a 50% chance that we'll see a revision of the MacBook Pro's with Core 2 Duo Chips

iPod Video V2

• 15% chance of a iPod revision

iPhone

• I put a 50% shot of seeing a iPhone or apple phone of some sort

Mac OS X Leapord

• Tabbed Finder ( 10% )
• Finder Sporting Unified Look ( 25% )
• Safari spotting Unified Look ( 50% )
• New version of Xcode ( 95% )
• Charts (new app ( 5% ))
• Movies on iTunes ( 75% ) Rental based ( 70% ), Keeps based ( 15% ), Subscription based ( 15% )
• iChat with tabs ( 25% )
• Spotlight 2 performance boost of at least 20-30% ( 70% ) - Not announced, but it is faster IMHO
• Heavily redesigned Finder ( 70% )
• Full screen in Quicktime (regular w/o pro) ( 2% ), Fullscreen is in iTunes, use iTunes for video viewing.
• iCal public framework for integration into other apps ( 2% ) iCal server and planned integration with other collaborative calendars though
• Dashboard widgets natively on the desktop w/o dev hack ( 5% )
• Voip on iChat ( 75% )
• Software Update on other Apple Consumer Apps ( 80% )

- My thoughts were along the lines of iLife and iWork suite or the Final Cut, Apature lineup, not bundled software with OS (Mail, iChat, etc)
