Guys so there is a week left until we get our brand new iPads with shiny retina display to our hands. What you gonna install in a first place? It would be a good idea to list all apps that are/will support retina in nearest future to get as much from our display as it's possible.

Infinity Blade: Dungeons - it will be definitely bad ass game. What would you like to see after that, dear iPad gamers?
 
Hoping for GoodReader, Comixology, ComicZeal, and essentially every magazine reader app I use. I really couldn't care less about games being in Retina -- 1024x768's already plenty detailed for games on a 9-inch screen.
 
from a developer point of view, developing retina apps could be a while plus the 7 days review process from apple. especially if the graphic is not vector that could take a while. i'm guessing 1-3 weeks after the new ipad launch, it will be flooded with retina apps.
 
Confirmed:

AlienBlue HD (found on reddit.com/r/alienblue
Tweetbot for iPad (found on developer's Twitter account, not @Tweebot)
 
Apple stuff
  • Remote - updated
  • Find my iPhone - updated
  • iBooks - updated
  • Pages - updated
  • Numbers - updated
  • Keynote - updated
  • iPhoto - updated
  • iMovie - updated
  • Garage Band - updated

Non Apple stuff
  • FlickStackr - updated
  • ComicZeal - being updated
  • Tweetings - submitted to Apple
 
EA just announced they'll be updating their games to work with the Retina Display on the iPad, starting with Mass Effect: Infiltrator.
 
Real Racing 2 future retina update has also been announced by EA. League of Evil 2 retina update has been teased on Twitter.

I'd also expect Marco Arment to update Instapaper for retina really damn quickly, and I'm really really hoping Reeder's developer does the same.

I don't think ComicZeal is being updated just to support Retina. The developer said that comics would be displayed at the higher resolution "in the current version."
 
Phraseology just popped up in my update list and it says it added retina support.

They said the current one will display your comics at retina res (as long as they are high enough quality), and they are working towards updating the buttons/interface to retina quality as well.

Autodesk: Sketchbook Pro has also just been updated.
 
Solar Walk - 3D Solar System model has a 'New iPad' update out now
It says...
High Resolution Interface / High resolution textures of the planets / New Visual Effects
 
Is anybody noticing a significant file-size increase for apps that are updating to retina display? I've just seen that there is a bit with the Apple released apps. Everything else that's updated so far for me have just been really small sized apps anyway.
