Apple App Design Awards 2012

The Apple Design Awards have come to pass, recognizing outstanding achievement and excellence for well designed, state of the art, and innovative applications. This year's ADAs at Moscone West during the opening day of WWDC 2012 will recognize and award developers for both iOS and OS X applications.
