Apple tablet prediction score card and iPhone app

January Blowout Specials ends 1/31“When I worked at a larger company, as an Apple Event approached work conversation would take second place to speculation about what Apple would announce. Lunch time conversation was consumed with a battle of predictions and the white board in front of my office became the location for people to publicly make their claims,” David Weiss writes for Unweary. “After the event we would gather around the white board and collectively determine who did the best.”

“I’m sure I’m not unique in this tradition among Apple fans, so in an effort to support this fun, I have created the Prediction Score Card,” Weiss writes. “Download it, print it out and take it to lunch. Amaze friends with your understanding and sophisticated analysis of current reports! Show your strength of judgment in the face of swirling uncertainty!”

In an update, Weiss reports, “Since I posted this Apple has approved my app Prediction.”

The (US$2.99) Prediction mobile rumor aggregation and scorecard app for Apple iPhone, iPod touch, and – ahem – future iPhone OS devices can be found via Apple’s iTunes App Store here.

  1. Still want the ability to hand write/recognition with a styus.
    I NEED to be able to hand write notes in a situation where I am observing.

    I can do that intuitively. Any form of typing takes away from my ability to simultaneously observe.

    I know thats old-fashioned, and in this ‘brave new world” that is criminal, but I guess walking is the same, so……

    Just being sarcastic for fun. Oh wait, that is part of the New World, so maybe I WILL be ok.

  3. It will be a supersized iPhone. Use enhanced iPhone ps have plenty of muscle to multitask, but the focus will be content. Magazines and newspapers will be more focus than books. They will eventually drop iTunes in favor of Imedia. Imedia or Imart. The cloud will manage the new imedia. Apple will probably begin trying to use some of it’s cash to possibly compete against traditional cable networks and provide their own content on some level. They will have to spread out into other areas to compete with google. This new tablet is going to be key in generating some type of ad revenue. It would be much better than Microsoft/NBC.

    nor does he participate in sports pools, secret santa, office collections, beneficial suggestion programs, and he doesn’t buy your girl scout cookies.

    He just doesn’t get involved in any social activities, at all. Even in this place, he’s here to judge, cause it makes himself feel superior. In fact, he’s unamerican.
