25 June 2008 @ 8:34iLounge’s ‘Quest for the Best iPhone App’ Contest
Irvine, CA – Today, iLounge and Bowers & Wilkins are announcing the Quest for the Best iPhone App Contest, a chance for official iPhone and iPod touch developers to receive the attention they deserve, and win one of three amazing B&W Zeppelin speaker systems.
On July 11, the iPhone and iPod touch will evolve into pocket computers, officially gaining the ability to run downloadable applications distributed through Apple’s App Store and iTunes Store. Hundreds of applications – games, business/productivity applications, and others – are in development, and iPhone users want to know which are worthy of their immediate attention.
From today through the end of July 23, iPhone developers are invited to submit screenshots and details of their App Store-ready applications to our Application Gallery, which will highlight as much new iPhone software as possible. Each Application will receive its own page in the Gallery, helping readers to learn about your product’s features.
Then, on July 25, our editors will announce the top three applications from the pool of submissions, awarding each winning application a Bowers & Wilkins Zeppelin ($599) – a beautiful premium speaker system plus a $100 Apple Store Gift Card. Only App Store-published applications, available to the public as of July 25, are eligible to win prizes.
One winner will be picked from each of three categories: Games, Business/Professional, and Just Plain Cool. We may use the “Just Plain Cool” category to recognize an especially creative or well-executed program that doesn’t fall into one of the other categories, or we might pick a second game or business application that really impresses us.
Headquartered in Irvine, California, iLounge is the world’s leading resource of iPod + iPhone information, not affiliated with or owned by Apple Computer or any other vendor of iPod accessories or services. Founded only days after Apple announced the first iPod in 2001, iLounge has exploded in popularity, today boasting millions of visitors and tens of millions of page views each month. In addition to receiving Best of the Web and Forbes Favorite awards from Forbes, a 50 Coolest Websites award from TIME Magazine, a Blog 100 award from CNET News, and best-of citations from leading technology journalists Walt Mossberg of The Wall Street Journal and Leo Laporte of This Week in Technology, the site, its publisher and editors have been spotlighted by the Associated Press, CNBC, The Guardian (UK), Italian Vogue, The Los Angeles Times, National Post (Canada), The New York Times, Reuters, Stuff (UK), TechTV, The Age (Australia), The Sun (UK), and USA Today, amongst many others.
