That said, if you have a favorite lovely app on Android, Windows Mobile or another OS, please note it in the comments. In no particular order, here are our selections:

1. Flipboard

Showed the way for glorious design on the iPad. Even better now that it's been enhanced for the high-definition retina display of iPad 3!

2. Jux

The pretty version of Tumblr. Jumbo pictures and large fonts abound.

3. Tweetbot

iPhone Twitter client "with a lot of personality."

4. Paper

Drawing tool for iPad, with an appealingly simple UI.

8. Art.sy

New art social network, currently in private beta. I'm still drooling over its HD images of art.

9. 500px

10. Remodelista

OK this is very biased, as Remodelista is a sister site of ReadWriteWeb - via our parent company SAY Media. But check out the design, because ReadWriteWeb is getting this too... soon ;)
