NEW YORK, Sept. 20, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Tablet apps now have their own competition: The Tabby Awards.

For the very first time, the best apps for iPad, Android and Windows tablets will be judged for their outstanding tablet specific features and utility by a panel of tablet professionals. The competition will be open to both native apps and web apps for tablets and will include app developers worldwide.

Consumer and Business apps will be evaluated by two separate panels, with the Business category representing the focus of the first round.

The Business panel will review all apps geared for business people or developed for organizational purposes. It is comprised of 12 accomplished tablet professionals and chaired by Alan Maserek, ex-CEO and co-founder of QuickOffice, the best-selling iPad app in the App Store's Business category.
