"The introduction of the iPhone marked the advent of an explosive mobile apps market that has continued to build momentum with the launch of the iPad in 2010," said Paul Kent, vice president and general manager of Macworld 2011. "Macworld 2011 is the one place that showcases the creativity, enthusiasm and genius of the developers behind these apps, as well as the wide variety of new apps available for Apple product users. The Mobile Apps Showcase delivers a truly unique experience for users and developers alike and we are excited to be a key launch pad for tomorrow's hottest apps and innovations."

From apps developed for fun and learning -- such as Kids Find & Learn from ZurApps and iBird Explorer PRO from Mitch Waite Group -- to those built for creativity, health and work -- such as Postage from Rogue Sheep, Runmeter by Abvio and SG Project 2 from FourthFrame Technologies -- the products on display in the Mobile Apps Showcase are designed to help users harness the full potential of their mobile devices and may even change the way they live, work and play in 2011.
