After a huge keynote yesterday, Apple has shifted the focus to its third-party developers at the Apple Design Awards for 2011. Once again both iOS and Mac apps are eligible to enter, a reversal of 2010′s decision to exclude the Mac from the ADAs.
This years winners will get a pretty sweet bundle: a MacBook Air, iPad 2, iPod touch and a trophy in the shape of the ADA cube.
