Maybe it's 85% didn't sign up to the local phone partner and just jailbroke the device instead?
I know 5-6 iPhone users, none of which actually signed up to 02 (uk network).
Though I'm fully confident that yours was dead-on accurate (that it was made up too).
First, I love how one poster's comment of foolishness has turned this thread into Math 101
Second, I love the continual argument about what "50/50 chance" really means
And third ... I wonder if everyone who says an iPad / Newton mid-size device is NOT happening has considered a possible hint in the WWDC poster. Two bridges coming together (and I recognize they could be going apart), but also considering the statement "Everything Mac. Everything iPhone".
A mid-size (say 7") tablet could give you the near full functionality of a Mac laptop with a full touchscreen and the near portability and freedom of an iPhone (3G, GPS, Wifi, etc). Just a thought.
I believe there is a specific reason for the Everything Mac. Everything iPhone." subhead on the poster. Apple has never wasted these types of comments, so Mac will be addressed and iPhone will be addressed OR a combination of the two platforms is possible alternative.
Just a thought..... Maybe the two bridges are going away from each other to symbolize Cocoa and Carbon seperating.
I also think the Mac Tablet is an interesting thought, but it would be impractical because nobody wants to hold that big of a device up to their ear. Also hard to carry in a pocket and I don't want a belt clip cause it looks like I'm on my way to a meeting with a client.(I'm only in High School)
The picture is fake.. if I did this correctly (Not sure if this has been mentioned already), you can see that both screens it's the same pic.
The date, and then I believe a number that IDs each LCD is the same on both of them.

New Touch?
Is it just my imagination or in today's Apple emailing "Music to your ears: iPod accessories for the summer", it looks like a different looking iPod touch. For the Sunscreen for your iPod, a black tab on the lower left corner of the back and more metal on the front -- maybe even thinner. Is this the look of a new touch?

smaller screen...
I don't like the idea of them shrinking the screen size on the Touch/iPhone, it is of course a different matter if they made two versions. Perhaps one slightly smaller/thinner and one the same size (screen wise) as is currently available.

Hardware? No, but another magical date will probably be set.
Software? 10.5.4 maybe?
The black tab on the back lower left corner seems to be a shadow. Beyond that I'm not sure
New touch
Maybe one of the new products is a touch, with the addition of 3g but still no phone function. wouldn't you touch users love to be able to access the internet even when you can't get wifi? That always seemed to be a big limitation to me. That would be a product that ATT would sell in its stores, as well.
So, Monday we get 16GB & 32GB 3g iphones, plus a slightly larger? touch with 3g added (plus maybe GPS).
Anyone give me 50-50 odds?

That'd be cool except I just got my touch like two months ago and can't afford to buy a new one. Maybe there's a 3G chip inside the touch that can be activated by a software update
we touch users can hope too 
I want a Macbook Touch! 12 inch would be great for me...or even an 11 incher...7 is kinda small....
hahaha..looks like many of us like it small..some like it large...some well..they don't like it at all....

What if these are for some iPhone knockoff? With the hype of new iPhones, I'm sure there are some other companies ready to sell come cheap iphone imitations.
Also, what about iPods? It makes sense for Apple to integrate their mobile platform into as many devices as possible. More devices = more software sold = more $$$.
We can only wait... (unless we get more blurry spy pics...)

Oh, come on, Shaw, even you can do better than that!
A 50/50 chance that Apple will introduce a touch device larger or smaller than the current iPhone at some time in the future? It hardly takes any expertise to make such an obvious prediction. If you're going to be that vague, I'll up the ante. I predict that there is a 99% chance that Apple will introduce a touch device either larger or smaller than the current iPhone within the next 6 months (perhaps even in the next 6 days). And to think that you get paid for such nonsense!
