Hi,

I have a MacBook Pro Retina model on order.

Wondering if Xcode allows you to run the iOS Simulator at native res on the MBP Retina?

This would be particularly useful when developing for iPad 3. We could see how it'd look natively on the MBP Retina's display.
 
This is about the iPhone simulator specifically, but I would imagine it applies to the iPad as well:

Here's a cool thing I found today: when you run iPhone simulator in Xcode on MacBook Pro Retina, the iPhone simulator windows are the same size: pixels are simply "native" 1X on the retina phone sim, and doubled up on the non-retina sim.

Screenshot of retina iPhone sim running at native resolution:
