Apple announces deadline for Design Awards
Apple has announced the submission deadline for the Apple Design Awards (ADA). The ADA take place every year during the World Wide Developer Conference, and recognizes the best efforts in several categories including user experience, overall application, student project and more. Previous winners include Coda (best user experience 2007), CSSEdit 2.5 (Best Developer tool, 2007) and Comic Life (Best New Product for Mac OS X, 2005).
New this year is the iPhone category, which should be very exciting. The deadline for the 2008 ADA is May 12.

There's an iPhone category already? I guess it's more to build hype about the iPhone, but it seems a bit early since none of the apps are legally publicly available yet, unless it's just iPhone-optimized web apps.

Delicious Library 2.0 won some Apple award yet it still isn't out. Not being publicly available is not an issue.

Not true. Developers have been able to build iPhone applications using the beta SDK for months.

marian, I mean PUBLICLY available. It just seems premature to judge the best apps for a platform that isn't yet legally available to the public. If I understand it correctly (and granted I'm not keeping close tabs on it), you need to apply for a developer kit from Apple before you can develop or use apps in an environment supported by Apple.

"announces"? They announced the deadline when they announced the Design Awards last month.

Maybe DL2 can win another award and still not release.

What he means is that an email appeared in his inbox from apple so he wrote a blog post. Obviously, they aren't going to give only 6 days warning.
