Taking a break from exams - WWDC Predictions

Because I've been looking at the news while revising for my exams, I am aware that WWDC is tomorrow (7 June 2010). So, here's my predictions/scorecard for the Apple announcements tomorrow.

The Basics.
1. Steve Jobs and Scott Forstall will present most of the keynote. (5m for each presenter)
2. iPhone OS 4 will be given a final release date (10m if within one fortnight of the keynote, 5m if within 6 weeks, 1m if any date/timeframe is mentioned that is greater than 6 weeks)
3. iPhone 4G will be unveiled. (10m if yes, 0m if no)
4. New Safari 5 will be unveiled. (10m if yes, 0m if no)
5. iPhone 4G will actually do 4G/LTE where available. (10m if yes, 0m if no)

More on the iPhone OS 4
5 points for any new features not mentioned earlier this year/not discovered by the blog-o-sphere yet.

More on the iPhone 4G
5 points if the specs match what's already out there (IPS display, front facing camera, flash at the back, same design, Micro SIM, Apple A4 chip)

More on the event in general
5 points for every intro/background video showed.
10 points for every ad showed.
15 points for every ad that was showed twice.
20 points for a 'one more thing'.

Points to pass: 50.
