It’s that time of year again where the top app developers are recognized and chosen by Apple employees. The Apple Design Award is quite a prestigious one to say the least. Talented app developers play a major role in setting new standards and this is Apple’s way of giving back.
When it comes to such an award there’s no shortage of sophisticated apps and innovative developers to choose from. Of course only the best of the best are picked. Winners receive a one of a kind trophy as well as a rather generous prize pack. Among the list of prizes include a brand new Apple iPad 2, MacBook Air and iPod touch.
What makes a great app? Well, there are many factors that make one app stand out above the rest. Apps that help inspire both current and future developers is important. Developers that take advantage of and help push existing technologies further can also have a positive impact on whether or not they are chosen. Ok let’s get down to business and show the winners. Since this is a site about tablets let’s begin with the iPad category.
