WWDC 2010 Apple Design Awards name best iPhone, iPad apps

Apple this week announced the winners of its annual Design Awards at the Worldwide Developers Conference, highlighting some of the best applications written for iOS.

The winners of this years awards were represented by five applications written for the iPad, and five for the iPhone. They were selected among the more than 225,000 options on the App Store, which has earned developers more than $1 billion to date.

This year's Design Awards did not include a category for Mac OS X applications, further demonstrating that the focus of WWDC 2010 is iOS, which powers the iPhone, iPod touch and iPad.

Winners were selected based on criteria including design, technical excellence, innovation, quality, technology adoption and performance. Nominations were accepted through Apple's website by members of the iPhone Developer Program

The awards ceremony was followed this week by MacStories, which provided a full list of the winners, also included below with iTunes links:

Perhaps AI could update the article to indicate what category each app won in?

Not that newsworthy since it's been known for quite a while that this would be the case. And, it's exactly because iOS is the focus that there are no Mac OS X awards. It's not like they've even hade fixed categories in the past. Basically, the ADA is just a vehicle for Apple to showcase a few apps that contribute to it's WWDC message each year. So it's really much ado about nothing.

Newsworthy?

We were well informed on the focus of this years WWDC when it was officially announced by Apple on March 28th, 2010. http://www.apple.com/pr/library/2010/04/28wwdc.html

And for the 5,000 plus developers that got registered in the eight days that it took to fill the conference, it was well understood what we were to expect.

Just wait until these apps start to take advantage of the newly implemented gyroscope. If what I'm hearing through my contacts is true, Apple is about open up a brand new can of whup ass - with stuff NO ONE in the industry can remotely come close to.

And the new screen isn't just an evolution of previous screens, this is a more calculated move.

Hmmph, I'll reserve judgement.
