Settlement requested Mon 9th Jun 2008 11:55am PST by jenniandboys[Admin]: The focus was on SDK and the 3G IPhone although there was a passing mention of Snow Leopard as well. I believe this settles as '3G AT and something else'

When it comes to Steve Jobs, One More Thing (capitalized) refers to a specific event - the "One More Thing" event. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stevenote As such, no "One More Thing" has happened (not yet anyway) therefore this should not be settled yet. One more thing does not refer to a quantity.. it's his schtick.

@mraleigh - I confess I am not an Apple junkie, but followed the WWDC yesterday mainly to clear out all the iphone questions. I looked at your link and now understand that One More Thing is a specific event and not just another product -- but certainly had NO inkling of that prior to your comment. Because there's no background for the un-initiated in this question I think it was reasonable to settle One More Thing as one more thing.. I will suggest that if by the end of WWDC Steve hasn't said the (now I realize, famous) words OMT, then we resettle the market. Does that seem fair?

In my opinion, Steve did not announce "one more thing". If he does not use this phrase during the rest of the WWDC, this question should be resettled as only 3G iPhone AT WWDC. The "Snow Leopard" was not announced as "one more thing".

It definitely should be resettled. As mraleigh points out, "One More Thing" is a specific event and those of us who attend WWDC and Macworld wait for it.
