2009 Nominees for the Best App Ever Awards

San Francisco, CA - The Second Annual Best App Ever Awards nominees have now been announced and the voting is open. Sponsored by 148Apps, the second annual competition is the iPhone OS Application achievement awards to recognize the best iPhone apps and games in the iTunes App Store in 2009. The goal is to help publicize the very best apps available, not just the best-selling apps.

The nomination process lasted just under a month and saw 26,899 nominations for 3,839 different apps submitted to the site for the 56 different award categories. In addition to the public nominations, a committee of industry people and iPhone developers was gathered to help nominate apps. 5 nominees from the public and 5 nominees from the committee were combined to come up with the nominees for each category.

Voting is open through January 31st, 2010. Winners will be announced on February 10th, 2010 at the 2010 Macworld Expo in San Francisco, CA and will be posted to the Best App Ever site shortly thereafter. In addition, Macworld Expo attendees can pick up a list of winners at the iPhone Life booth, #567.
