Good news for Fieldrunners and Rolando
Website 148Apps has announced the winners of its inaugural Best App Ever Awards, which garland the best iPhone applications and games.
More than 98,000 votes were cast in the week nominations were open, and the results have just been announced. Happily, there's not just one games category - there are loads.
