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?

Apple Now Accepting Entries for 2009 iPhone Design Awards

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:

Recognize technical excellence, innovation, and outstanding achievement in software development. With new categories for iPhone development, this year’s Apple Design Awards [were] more exciting than ever.

• Best iPhone Game: Enigmo 1.0, Pangea Software
• Best iPhone Healthcare & Fitness Application: MIM 1.0 (alpha), MIMVista, Corp.
• Best iPhone Social Networking Application: Twitterrific 1.0 (beta), The Iconfactory
• Best iPhone Entertainment Application: AOL Radio 1.0, AOL LLC
• Best iPhone Productivity Application: OmniFocus 1.0 (pre-release), The Omni Group
• Best iPhone Web Application, Winner: Remember The Milk for iPhone & iPod touch 1.0, Remember The Milk
• Best iPhone Web Application, Runner-Up: AP Mobile News Network 1.0, The Associated Press

And a hearty congratulations (and thanks!) from TiPb to all the winners, and to everyone who showed up to develop! We look forward to enjoying the fruits of your labors
