We’ve already highlighted the four apps that Apple has chosen as their “award winners” for 2010. But they’ve also highlighted the following: Overall Paid iPhone Apps, Overall Free iPhone Apps, Overall Grossing iPhone Apps, Overall Paid iPad Apps, Overall Free iPad Apps, Overall Grossing iPad Apps.

Below, find the full top 10 lists for each of those. One thing interesting to note: the top three grossing iPad apps for the year are all made by Apple themselves (Pages, Numbers, and Keynote).

Also interesting:

  • MLB At-Bat.com 2010 beat out Angry Birds as the top-grossing iPhone app — even though it’s currently free. That’s because the baseball season is over, but in-season the app is $15.
  • Facebook is the top free app for the iPhone (and very likely the top app overall, though Apple doesn’t break that down). But they don’t have an iPad app. As a result, the third-party Friendly for Facebook is the #9 paid app on the platform (though it just went free too).
  • Apple has also created “key trends” lists in the year-end App Store look for the first time. They are: Shoot, Edit, Share (camera apps), Augmented Reality, Fun for Foodies, New News, Generative Art & Sound (music/visual apps), Tech for Tots, The Cloud, Quick Fix Games, Hardcore Games, Retro Revival Games, Multiplayer Games, On The Grid (location-based apps), Personal Trainer, Band In Your Hand, Interactive Stories, Mobile Office, Magazines & Newspapers, Pen & Brush, and Zombies. Yes, Zombies have their own category.
