iPad 3 Renovations and Other Stuff

So the iPad 3 has been announced as "The New iPad". I'm not sure I understand the name but nevertheless its another great product from Apple. Anyhow, because of this new announcement and the release of iOS 5.1 i now have to update all my apps to accommodate the changes (mainly the 1536 x 2048 retina display o_0). I just finished updating "tag" today to support the new screen as well as some other changes. This was my first time using the new iPad 3 simulator which shows the screen at native resolution. So the new retina display is supposed to have more pixels than an HDTV. This is extremely true. Here's a picture of Dual View Browser running on the iPad simulator at native resolution on my 13" screen:


As you can see it hardly fits. But this is what I have to work with. So this weekend I'll be working on updating Dual View Browser and Search Me! for the retina display. Search Me! however already has an update waiting to add support for Yelp. So it will be a while before that one comes through. Anyway thats all I've got for now. Be on the look out for those updates and if you're not following me on twitter then you should: @SlayterDev
