Apple Posts iPhone Design Award 2008 Winners

Ever since a young Steve Jobs audited a calligraphy class and sparked the taste that has driven modern consumer computing, Apple had prided itself on pixel-perfect design. And this year, for the first time, iPhone Web Apps and (beta) App Store apps were eligible for Apple’s WWDC-delivered Design Awards. (Which makes sense, given the iPhone was released less than a year ago…)

According to Apple’s Developer Connection, the awards:
