We are absolutely thrilled to have been honored with two incredibly prestigious Apple Design Awards for Flight Control HD on iPad and Real Racing on iPhone. Firemint is the first company in the 14 year history of the awards to have two winning apps in one year.
Flight Control HD is the iPad adaptation of Firemint’s massive iPhone hit that invented the “line drawing” genre, and introduced numerous tweaks to make it a perfect fit for the iPad’s larger display. More information about Flight Control HD is available at http://firemint.com/flightcontrolhd.
Real Racing is Firemint’s ground breaking iPhone racer, which redefined player expectations for what is possible on the iPhone. More information about Real Racing is available at http://firemint.com/realracing. Players can download a free lite version with limited content, Real Racing GTI, from http://firemint.com/getapp/realracinggti.
The awards were presented at a ceremony at Apple’s World Wide Developer Conference in San Francisco on June 8, and included 5 awards for iPhone apps and 5 awards for iPad apps. The winning apps showcase the best technology adoption, design and user experience, innovation and performance. More information about the Apple Design Awards: http://developer.apple.com/wwdc/ada.
