Congratulations to all those whose entries didn't make it; keep up the good work, and maybe we'll see you name listed here next year.

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?

It's really great to see *Things* in the list. This is a great GTD application and I use it on daily basis. Well worth the price and also the iPhone APP is constantly updated.

Versions is a good choice. But Billings? Ever tried to create your own template? That's difficult. And Things? That's overpriced and The Hit List does a better job.

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.

Small 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..
Cheers,

This is the first time that I have heard of Accuterra. I am now very much looking forward to this iPhone app, and I am glad that I did not spend money on a specialized hiking GPS device like a Garmin or Magellan.

I can't wait to start using AccuTerra for tracking my hikes. Seems like it's going to make a great new use of the built in GPS. Congrats AccuTerra!

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