Something to add into the mix: I've had a few friends have decent success with Cedexis' tools for content targeting. One of the complaints that I hear about retina-enabling websites is the performance impact on mobile users. I had a demo whipped up for me once that will serve up different site versions depending on a number of factors, including platform and connection type/quality. So someone on a 3G iPad connection can get the non-retina version, while someone on a wifi link will get the full-res version.

The long and the short is that I have a feeling that we are going to see more and more interesting tools popping up in the near future as more and more web designers purchase hidpi computers and decide to write up some library to make their life easier when they decide to retina-enable their websites because it looks horrible on their machine.

It would certainly be helpful if we had a simple, standardised way for browsers requesting content from a web server to specify some kind of preferred quality level, based on both hardware capabilities and some mechanism for determining expected download speeds and the user’s preference for higher quality vs. saving bandwidth.
