Panic, the company that makes awesome applications like Coda and Unison, got a little surprise in the mail yesterday – a Faux Apple Design Award, sent in by an extremely appreciative user of their best-known product, Transmit.
User Michael Salbato sent a letter saying how disappointed he was that only iPhone apps will qualify for this year’s Apple Design Awards – and just after the release of Transmit 4, too.
He wrote: “Since Apple cancelled the chance for you to win something that I have little doubt you would have won, I humbly present you with, again, this ridiculous Faux Apple Design Award.”
Compare and contrast this Faux Award “for being awesome” with the real thing:
… which Panic won back in 2004, for Unison 1.0.2a.
Thanks to Scott Gould for the tip.
