In classic iTunes tradition, Apple has posted their “iTunes Rewind” for 2010. The best content from the iTunes Store is listed in different categories, from “top grossing” to “hot trends.”

A huge section of iTunes Rewind 2010 is dedicated to the App Store, as one might imagine. There’s a huge selection of chosen apps to check out…

Apple has specifically chosen to highlight Hipstamatic, Angry Birds, Flipboard and Plants v.s. Zombies on the Rewind main page. There’s also a nice description from Apple about the state of App Store apps in 2010.

It’s nice to be able to go through these lists and see the apps that really stood out this year. I even spotted a couple that I had never actually downloaded, so it was nice to find a few nice apps that have already been out for a little while.

What are some of your favorite apps from this past year?
