Last month we asked for your help. We asked you to help us identify the “Must-Have App of the Year Award” winners. We were very eager to see which apps would come out on top as the best picks in Ovi Store.

All the votes are counted, and we are pleased as punch to be able to share with you the winning apps – the apps YOU selected – as the “Must-Have Apps” from 2010.

While these apps might not surprise you, we think you will agree that the quality, value and the overall user experience that goes along with these winning apps make each and every one of them a long-term keeper that we expect you will find yourself using again and again.

Now, let’s take a look at the winners!

The winning Game is Doodle Jump by GameHouse.

This highly addictive, bouncy game has a simple premise, but don’t be fooled. As we noted in our original review of the game last Spring, “The game plays beautifully on Nokia’s S60 5.0 devices … where you can use the built-in accelerometer to gently tilt your device back and forth to make the Doodler move to the left and right.” How high can you jump? Doodle Jump is available at the reduced price of $0.99 (USD) in Ovi Store.

The winning app in the Business/Productivity category is Mobile Documents by Visiarc.

As we noted in our review this past August, “Mobile Documents gives you quick access to your e-mail attachments via streamed access. It also lets you preview, zoom, navigate and pan those attachments — and forward them to others — all without downloading.” The app is free to download from Ovi Store.

The winner in the Entertainment category is Touchnote Postcards.

This free app in Ovi Store makes it possible for you to turn the photos on your Nokia device into real, printed photo cards that can be mailed to anyone in the world. As we wrote this past summer: “Touchnote takes the high-quality images you can produce with your Nokia touch-enabled device out of its gallery, and into the real world where you can truly share the pictures – and the memories – with the people that you care about the most. And it does all of this in three quick steps.”

Can you name the winner in the music category? It’s Shazam!

This free app in Ovi Store identifies popular songs heard by your Nokia device, no matter where the music is coming from. As our reviewer noted a few months back: “What I found amazing about Shazam is how hard it is to stump. Give this app a contemporary pop song, and its database of more than 8 million songs is able and willing.”

In the social networking category, the winner is the perennial favorite, Gravity.

This feature-rich (there are too many to list here) Twitter app from developer Jan Ole Suhr never ceases to amaze anyone that uses it. It is easy to use, looks cool, and the user interface is very slick. Gravity is available for $9.99 (USD) in Ovi Store; and there is a free, 10-day trial version available, too.

In the Utilities category, the winner is the super-handy JoikuSpot WiFi Hot Spot.

With this app installed, you can quickly turn your Nokia mobile device into a WiFi hotspot. And that’s the true power of this simple app: “anywhere you can get a mobile phone connection, you have a WiFi hotspot.” The premium version is available for $9.99 (USD) in Ovi Store; and there is a lite version for free trial.

Our congratulations to the developers involved in the creation of these six winning apps! It is easy to see why these apps continue to be fan favorites. If you have yet to try some of these apps for yourself – what are you waiting for? Ovi Store is just a click away.

PS – we will be announcing the winner of the new Nokia N8 soon – we are awaiting acceptance of the prize from the winner who was selected at random among those who participated in the voting for the Must-Have Apps this year, and who correctly predicted all six winning apps.
