This is slightly embarrassing: Instapaper doesn’t show Retina-resolution graphics on the new iPad yet.

It's only slightly embarrassing for Apple's culture of product secrecy, which prevents them from releasing tools in time for devs to have gear ready for release.

I'm pretty sure the simulator that devs use supports the Retina iPad, and was available before release date. The tricky bit is that the Retina iPad is higher resolution that most people's desktops, so simulation becomes difficult.

I saw a tweet from him the other day saying he's got a 2650x1600 display (HP ZR20W, I believe). So that just barely fits.

The simulator now scrolls, however, so you could in theory test retina iPad apps full size in portrait mode on an 11" MacBook Air.

My 27" iMac (2650x1440) isn't quite tall enough even in landscape mode, but it's not unusable thanks to the scrolling.

I think the issue is pretty subtle, since it works when compiled with the new XCode and the Retina simulator comes with the new XCode. So if he downloaded XCode and ran his existing code base on it, it would look like it works fine.

Yes, if only that secrecy had worked well otherwise for the company. <sarcasm />

The world does not exist only in stark black and white.

If only creating natural disasters had worked well otherwise for BP. <as long as they make money it's all OK />
