Yeah, Twitterific is so much better. And design-wise, Twitterific (the new version) is still better than Tweetie. ):

June 10 2009 at 7:32 AM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplySmall correction on the news here. Versions wasn't made by just me, there was a little mix-up there.
Really it is Pico and Sofa,
I'm one of the founders of Sofa and also the one that filled in the ADA entry form..

Things over priced? Costs just the same as The Hit List, ANDit has a good iPhone app. Which one is better is a matter of taste and usage pattern, and this was a Design award after all.

I'm sorry, but Topple? Topple?? It's a nice game and all, but it's not even in the Top 4 ngmoco apps! Rolando, WordFu, Dropship, Star Defense, are all more worthy ngmoco games, IMO. What exactly was the award-winning design trait that the Apple Design Award felt Topple (or even Topple 2, which I think is probably the game that actually won) reflected?
