The Best Apps for the New IPad Retina Display

  • The new iPad officially went on sale today, and if the long lines outside electronics stores are any indication, sales should be huge.

    Unfortunately, not ever app on the market is iPad retina display ready. Apple has upgraded theirs, but that’s to be expected. Some third party apps have not been lucky enough to get things ready for the release. Others plan to capitalize on the new technology by being the first out the door with HD graphics.

    A friendly request: don’t freak out at non-retinized iPad apps coming out this week. It’s a lot of damn work. 1 day ago via Twitterrific ·  Reply ·  Retweet ·  Favorite · powered by @socialditto
