Apple last night held its annual Apple Design Awards ceremony at WWDC, recognizing twelve applications for excellence in design and innovation across four categories: Student, iPhone, iPad, and Mac. All eligible applications were required to be available via either the iOS or Mac App Store.
This year's winners come from a range of genres, from games to news to books to music and beyond. In terms of price, the winners range from the free Pulse News Reader for iOS to the $49.99 Capo for OS X.

As part of a focus on iOS at last year's conference, Apple did not include Mac applications in the Apple Design Awards competition. But with OS X Lion playing a prominent role in this year's event and the Mac App Store gaining momentum, Mac applications returned to the ballot this year.

IMO, this is a good thing. :D
That makes me fell better. I will say the App is awesome, very interactive, and well put together.
100% of Al Gore's earnings from "Our Choice" go to charity...
Highly recommend it.
I'm glad to see the Mac Apps are back. Probably because of the Mac App Store. Are all of these apps available on the store only?
