Last month, Apple demoed iOS 5 at the WWDC keynote address. I made a list of predictions beforehand—let's score 'em, and make a few more since Apple predictions generate some serious traffic.

Notifications: We did indeed see a revamp here. Now, they are pulled down from the top of the screen, just like all the jailbreak iPhones do and just like the Palm Pre and Android phones. I threw in a wildcard guess (that they would be pulled from the left side of the screen) which was incorrect. I still think it would be neat to be different, though. One out of two possible points.

Widgets: Did and didn't happen. We have stocks and weather on the iPhone's notifications screen, but for some reason those are the only widgets, and you don't even see these on the iPad. Clearly a half-finished feature, so maybe my prediction was just too early instead of incorrect. Call it what you will. Half a point.

Auto-updating: Yes. iCloud will let you back up and restore your phone, but you have to enable it yourself. This is a killer feature and will finally let me use iTunes for playing music instead of staring at a "synch" screen. One point!

iCloud: I was dead-on about the synching of music, apps and documents (which live inside apps). No user-login capability though. I would imagine that this is coming soon since iCloud ties all your apps to the same Apple ID even stronger. This will come in handy when, for example, you want a different set of Safari bookmarks than your wife. One point out of two.

Concierge: This is what I thought Apple would call an enhanced voice control service. Didn't happen, zero points awarded.

HTML 5 apps: Nothing was announced here. I'm not sure if there is anything un-announced coming in iOS 5 relating to HTML 5 apps, but if there is, it's covered by the NDA. Let's give me a quarter point for being half right on an easy question.

In-app purchases for Mac apps: Got it. Point!

Steve Jobs will tell everyone to turn off their WiFi for a demo: Nope, no demos required wireless. No points.

There will be an incredible demo of the iPad 2′s graphics capabilities that will blow everyone away: Didn't happen, no points.

MobileMe will be rebranded as iCloud, and a one-year subscription will be included when you buy any device: I got the easy part of this prediction correct, but iCloud is free. Half a point.

Phil Schiller: Happened. One entire point.

Final score, based on my dubious scoring system: 6.25 out of 13. Better than last year!

MORE PREDICTIONS:

• Lion will be released this month alongside new MacBook Airs (or is it "MacBooks Air?")
• iOS 5 will be released in September alongside a new iPhone and iPod Touches (or is it "iPods Touch?")
• Publishers will not understand that they cannot just load a bunch of PDFs into the iPad / iPhone newsstand. Businesses making apps to assist publishers will make huge bucks. At the top of the money pile will be Adobe. Side question: why does the iPhone have a newsstand? ("What is this, a newsstand for ANTS?")
• As soon as iOS 5 is released, apps will standardize on using Twitter for authentication instead of asking users to create accounts (wishful thinking on my part)
• Lots of iPad games will start using Apple TV to display things
• The next version of the Apple TV will be smaller and include velcro and an RF remote, so it can be mounted out-of-sight
