Mr. Munster gets quite a lot wrong. I am starting to think make a site to solely catalog and score predictions by analysts would be a pretty popular public service.

Philip Elmer DeWitt at Apple 2.0 already has you covered, every quarter he rounds up all the analysts' predictions and after actual results are announced, he writes about the outliers. He also tracks how often the analysts are right/wrong.
Why single him out? When iPad was finally shown in January the notion that it would not sell more than a few million, tops, was very widespread among analysts and most of the tech press.
Hell, people were giving Leo Laporte a hard time because he came in with one of the highest estimates, at (I think) over 5 million.
"Analysts" who go contrarian on Apple are fairly common, and they have spent the past decade being wrong. At this point low-balling Apple has become so common that I think a lot of analysts do this just in case they manage to draw the lucky lottery ticket and "predict" a miss by Apple -- if they are correct their prediction stands out and when they are wrong they just get filed into the long, long list of bad Apple predictions.
Actual results: 7.33 million just last quarter.
