Apple reportedly urging developers to get Retina display iPad 3 apps ready for announcement event
Now that it seems Apple will be holding their iPad event in early March, rumors have turned to Apple working with developers in a frenzied rush to get Retina display iPad apps ready to show off on stage. TheNextWeb reports:
Apple has a long history of hand-picking apps that it thinks are exemplary or really show off the hardware of a device to demonstrate during iPad presentation. The iPad 2 saw demo segments with Apple’s own Garage Band, iMovie and Photo Booth apps, while the recent ‘Let’s Talk’ iPhone event saw game title Infinity Blade 2 demoed in order to show off the graphics capabilities of the new iPhone 4S. Apple’s pre-event weeks are often spent soliciting demonstrations from many app developers and preparing demonstrations of those apps for the live event. Our sources tell us that this selection process is continuing at an increased rate as Apple looks to finalize the lineup for the iPad 3.
Retina display iPad apps would require 2x, high-definition elements. The iPad 3 -- or iPad 2S according to some rumors -- is widely expected to have a similar form factor to the currently available iPad 2. The main differences are thought to be on the inside with a faster, possible quad-core processor, improved graphics performance and of course a higher resolution display.
We're taking a poll of what you expect to see, hardware wise, in the iPad 3 so if you haven't already, hurry up and vote now.

Um, old news. I got an e-mail form Apple a few days ago about this. Doesn't anyone update this site anymore? I was going to send in a tip, but there's no where on this site that I could find to do that.
news@iMore.com , I think, and this is old news, but still interesting. Retina display would mean a better camera. Only if it is true retina, and not similar to what was done to the iPod Touch 4.

Quick like antenna gate. Or iPhone 4S battery issues.
Some people, like me, are reading this news for the first time because we don't keep up with news sites every single day. You know what's old news? Comments on articles, etc. about how irrelevant the article is to that specific person. If it is irrelevant in your world, why take the time to comment? Just scroll past it like I do.
I have been browsing on-line more than three hours lately, yet I never found any interesting article like yours. It is pretty value sufficient for me. In my opinion, if all webmasters and bloggers made good content material as you probably did, the web will likely be much more helpful than ever before.
