Apple.com has posted up the winners of the WWDC 2009 Apple Design Awards (APA), and specifically for our interests, the iPhone winners. Like last year, a lot of our favorites got the nod. Here they are, with iTunes links where available:
iPhone Developer Showcase:
Best iPhone Student App
Best iPhone OS 3.0 Beta App
Congrats to everyone and thanks for the great apps!

Developing for the iPhone? Have the next great user experience? Apple wants to give you a shiny silver-gray box to express your excellence!
Let your creativity shine as we honor the year’s best-designed applications for Mac and iPhone at WWDC 2009. Winners will take home prizes of great Apple hardware—along with the respect, admiration, and envy of their peers from around the world. Enter today and put your work in the spotlight.
I’m doubting any fart apps need apply, but outside the novelty apps space, we’ve seen some really nicely designed software come out since App Store launch. Last year’s winners were all outstanding. Anyone have any early predictions for winners? Tapbot? Icon Factory? Gameloft? Who’d get your vote?
