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.

Updating all of your apps graphics to keep up the new technology has proved to be a daunting task for most developers.

Here are some of the best HD apps out there right now. Expect many more to roll out in the next coming weeks.
