Apple has announced the winners of its 2008 Apple Design Awards at a ceremony held during the Worldwide Developers Conference. The awards recognize technical excellence, innovation, and outstanding achievement in software development, and this year included several new categories for iPhone developers.

Through this article I just learned that AOL is putting out its own radio app. I’m pretty excited about this, but at the same time I’m hoping this is actual streaming and not just based on a similar model as Flytunes. Don’t get me wrong, I like Flytunes, but I hate that I have to hit play again every hour. Better yet, I’m hoping AOL / Nullsoft puts out a Shoutcast client too. Anythings got to be better than that buggy as all get out iRadio app.
