Cai Guo-Qiang
A fascinating example of site navigation. The pagination used here fundamentally changes the way you interact with the interface. I love the way the boxes are highlighted in red, it has to be tried to be understood.

Chomp is a fascinating, and compact, sandwich maker and grill. Thanks to an innovative pressing mechanism, it automatically adjusts to sandwiches of varied thicknesses. It allows preparation of sandwiches, toast, waffles, fried eggs, grilled meat, and is operated through a touchscreen display!

Mint Analyitics
Mint is a great Web App that helps you to take a fresh look at your site and analyse its performance. I love the green colour scheme in place here and excellent use of windows to compartmentalise different bits of analysis. I also particularly like the simple nature of the logo!

Jay-Z Decoded
An interesting example of iPhone interface design that may divide some designers. Intentionally a little rough around the edges and disorganised this interface makes great use of some interesting typeface work and illustration. I find the lack of typeface consistency fascinating!

I Am T-Pain
The I Am T-Pain app is a voice recorder which uses the popular auto tuner effect from T-Pain. Although it may not be as slick as some Apps, it does make good use of curtains, lighting, and a grungy texture. I like the undeniably analog feel of the sliver switch on the tuning screen!

Classics
Classics brings some of those favorite classic books a couple taps away on your iPhone. The gorgeous interface coupled with some great attention to detail, such as page turns and bookmarks, makes this a joyous App to use. The virtual bookshelf idea was looking great here well before iBooks was up and reading!

Just Notes
A simple but classy interface for a notes App. THe small custom icons are great and perfectly complement the classic note feel of the App. I find the purple tint a fascinating design twist on an otherwise functional interface.

Articles
Articles is an excellent App that perfectly displays Wikipedia on your iPhone. Its simple but elegant design in combination with a very readable typeface make it a pleasure to browse through the vast array of articles available. I particularly like the intuitive design of the integrated maps feature.
