Good thing that's what happened, then.
What? Have internet posters completely misread an article and then blame Apple for that?
Yeah, it does seem to be recurring...
well the twitter update is a little disappointing.. only retina display support, no bug fixes or UI changes.
My apps are waiting for review since the weekend
my alarm clock apps go into retina mode on the new iPad right out of the box, but no mention Maybe if we pool our psychic powers we can make the app approval demi-gods hurry up a bit...
Considering the sudden tidal wave of retina iPad updates in my app library, there is no shortage of retina support even in the first week!
(Grrrrrr. Have to delete some music to fit newly-larger apps! Oh well... 128GB iPad in 2013! I’m almost glad there’s no 128 now—gives me a reason to keep my wallet shut and stick with my iPad 2.)

Apple expects the following apps to be approved by tonight:
Facebook
Flipboard
Roambi Analytics
Roambi Flow
Wired
None updated as of yet...

What is recurring are his posts consistently finding fault with A, so predictable that it makes skimming past them a habit. Still not sure why people love to spend time knocking, consistently, a product they rarely use. Like a wacky guy near my University who used to go into the Chevy dealer on Figueroa and rant about how good Toyota was, weekly, then walk out. My buds say it's people with time on their hands and axes to grind, and this is a free way to do it. Whatever floats your boat.
Works for me..

Nice idea, but I wouldn't hold my breath...Apple software can hardly be described as "Overpriced"
Yeah...I hear ya...I'm sure fanboys here will reply/scream "but it's not even released yet!!!!" but the fact is that more than 32 apps should be ready to go on Day 1. Out of the tens of thousands of apps (and yes, I know not all NEED to be retina-quality), we have a whopping 32. I was really expecting at LEAST 100 on launch day of iPad 3.0. This seems to be a recurring theme with Apple since Apple was born....release something new/cool/exciting and have almost nothing 3rd party ready to launch with it.
I think you are overreacting. There are 32 that Apple is calling out right now. A lot more will be updated quickly. In the meantime, they will look no worse than they do on the current iPad.
Works for me..
As has been discussed, you probably have Itunes installed.
MR would warn if Flash or Silverlight were needed to follow a link, so why don't they warn if other third party applications need to be installed?
It's just 32 highlighted apps. There are a lot more already iPad apps approved for retina and hundreds if not thousands more apps in line to be approved.
Their beef with Apple is a secret? I thought both said have been pretty obvious with their disdain for the other.
well the facebook app is supposed to get updated tonight so we will see about that
Twitter is Retina Ready, Facebook still don't.
Tweetbot for iPad is also Retina Ready.
Instapaper getting retina display update soon
