Macworld's editorial team selected the shortlist of nominees after considering all the applications that passed through their hands during the last year. This shortlist was then voted for by Macworld's readers to decide the winners in each group.
Nick Spence, Macworld's Online News Editor, commented: "The Macworld Awards honour the best and brightest that have graced our offices over the past year. Winning a Macworld Award is a seal of quality for any product and is considered a benchmark of excellence throughout the industry."
"The Apple and Mac community has been invaluable both as enthusiastic champions of LogMeIn Ignition and as a vocal source of feedback on how we can continually improve our products," said Andrew Burton, Vice President, Access and Management, LogMeIn. "To be recognised by such an audience, especially given the high quality of the other finalists, is a true honour."
