Appsfire is bringing it's AppStories conference to San Francisco for the first time. The half day, super cheap, super awesome conference focuses on bringing in the best from the industry to do short talks about what they know best. "Secrets straight from successful mobile app developers" is the tagline, and it should deliver.

148Apps is happy to be one of the media sponsors for the event and we'll be there looking for the latest and greatest. Tickets are on sale right now -- hope to see you there.

In late April, we posted on 148Apps.biz (the 148Apps site for the development community) about the third edition of the Appsfire App Awards. The contest is a way to highlight great upcoming apps before they're released. And 148Apps Founder and Editor in Chief, Jeff Scott, is one of the mobile expert judges who are narrowing down the submissions. Just a few days ago, the finalists for the contest have been revealed.

There are currently 16 finalists for the awards, three of them will receive a free ad campaign for their app and a new iPad. The finalists have apps ranging from a guitar app that takes no guitar skills to a kid's game about eating dinner to a Clear-like to-do app.

Check out the finalists on Appsfire. The post includes video demonstrations of all of the finalists' apps. The winner will be announced on June 5th. One of my favorites after seeing all of the demonstrations is QuizBoard a multiplayer trivia game. Which app is your favorite?
