    Is this the same Domino's app that was advertised everywhere in the UK for ages but was only available in Spanish??

    Looks like a general fail of a list TBH.

    I'm with the author - how did SwiftKey X not win?. I had to switch back to the default android keyboard the other day - never again!

    Shame there wasn't a single winner there you probably couldn't have predicted. Is this because the mobile app industry is still young or because it's stagnated?

    They seem to have picked very generic categories. Honestly, it looks like they were paid off at every step.

    Let's think about food and cooking, I'm expecting something like Foodgawker, maybe a recipe database, who knows. Oh, it's Dominoes. Why?

    “Mouthwatering menus with a slick and simple display”

    Oh and GTA III was on the shortlist for best game and having played it, it's much better than Angry Birds.

    Come on, this is an absolute farce!

    It would be helpful to know if these were apps for a specific platform, the last time I used Youtube on Blackberry or Windows Phone it was basically a web launcher. As for the News and Weather category, wouldn't it make more sense to split them up?
