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!

MyFourWalls
MyFourWalls is an incredibly powerful and feature packed interior design and layout application. It makes good use of standardised UI ideas, such as drop down menus and sliders, while also moving beyond and incorporating some ideas of its own! The virtual representation of your room is amazing and can really give you a feel for how it will look.

lo-mob
Another iPhone App that\'s attempting to recreate a classic lo-fi camera, and another beautiful interface! I love the detail put into the camera lens itself, you almost feel like you could see your reflection. More effort could have been put into the feel of the buttons, but overall it\'s still a satisfying App to use.

GrooveMaker
Complicated is the first that springs to mind when you open up GrooveMaker for the iPad! Fortunately it\'s mostly an illusion, many of the buttons are in patterns that are repeated. A lot of thought has gone into the interface design here, buttons light up and sliders move, it really is a joy to use!

CameraBag
CameraBag is a brilliant photo filter App that dispenses with the pretence and instead opts for a clean and straightforward interface. I really like that the developers have done away with replicating the feel of an analog camera and have instead gone solely with replicating the results.

Time Magazine for iPad
Time Magazine for iPad looks simply gorgeous! Browsing through stories and articles is effortlessly enjoyable, the App manages to enhance the experience over reading the paper version. I particularly like that you can still get the exact front cover, it gives a great sense of authenticity.

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!

Midnight Inbox
Midnight Inbox is a powerful GTD application for your Mac that drives you towards increasing your productivity. It\'s a miracle that the interface looks great despite the vast feature set! I really like the attention to detail, such as the simple use of colours in the action menu!

Wallpaper Wizard
Wallpaper Wizard is a brilliantly simple App that is designed to manage your wallpapers and automatic switching. The interface design is clean and makes great use of good icon design. I particularly like the wallpaper gallery and the grey tick icons that cover the selected wallpaper packs!

Sky News
For their News App the people at Sky have delivered a super sleek interface that works beautifully on your iPhone. I really like the use of black in the background here, it gives the App a certain gravity! It\'s vital that a news App be intuitive and easy to use and the Sky News App delivers this and then some!

Boom is a simple but powerful Mac App for boosting your system volume! It\'s interface is perfect for its use and features a gorgeous looking equaliser function and great use of standard UI ideas. The sliders and switches are intuitive and there has clearly been a lot of effort put into the whole interface!
