Apple iPhone Announcement
Apple is unveiling the new features in iPhone OS 3.0
- Join us here on March 17th. March 17th., 10 AM PST/1 PM EST for full coverage of all the new features in the iPhone 3.0 OS.
- The guys over at Mobile Crunch have come up with an Announcement Score Card for you to play along while watching.
- What's the score?
120+: The perfect announcement. The untouchable debut. Apples will rain from the sky, the energy crisis will be solved, and cats will stop being jerks.
90-115: Not technically perfect, but we’re still mighty impressed. No more Copy and Paste jokes! Hurray!
70-85: If Apple manages to squeak into this range, there probably won’t be much naysaying around the internet. (Just kidding. Everyone will still complain, because that’s what people on the internet do.)
45-65: If we were the bettin’ type, we’d put our money on Apple landing somewhere in this range tomorrow. Of course, this would also require a mystical gambling hall where they bet on Apple events. Most will walk away satisfied, others will feel burned that their must-have feature is still not at hand.
20-40: Meh. One or two significant features, but is that enough to warrant the big jump from 2.2 all the way up to 3.0?
0-15: Event got canceled. - iPhone 3.0 preview in 3 hours or so, interested to see what Apple have up their sleeve.by MarkHousley via twitter 3/17/2009 2:31:32 PM
