I'm looking at my MBP hooked up to my Samsung 24" at 1920x1200. The iPad 3 will be 9.7" at 2048x1536. I can't comprehend it but when I have mine in my hands, my mind will be sufficiently blown. As Bart Scott once said "CANT WAIT!"
 
haha

It is pretty crazy how much I have to scroll on my macbookair. I consider this display pretty high res, and the fact that it is 13 inches vs 10 for the ipad, means that the retina display will be mind boggling.

Same here. Only like 1/2 of the full image fits on my screen.
 
Exactly.

Which I am sure is the reason Apple is not going to put the highest reolution screen of any of their devices on one of their lowest price products. Not this year, not next year.

They've done the same thing on iPhone years ago already. They can and they will do it on iPad next month.
 
So it's come to my attention that all of our iPad wallpapers at 1024x1024 are going to be obsolete when the new iPad 3 comes out. I thought that we could all prepare by building up a collection of 2048x2048 wallpaper here. That way we will great wallpapers on day 1. Feel free to post some wallpapers or make requests below.

interfacelift.com

iPad 3 wallpapers available. Sorted....
 
Here's a few I found interesting on InterfaceLIFT. Figured I'd at least post a few more.

Anyone know if it would be considered fair use to repost some of our favorites from interfacelift here, just so we can see them all in one place? Or would it be better to just link to each photos web page? (so you can see all of the interfacelift options and info)
 
Here's one I made. It's 2048x2048 at 264ppi. This creature is one I created for a book cover that I designed. Please forgive the signature. I tried to make it as unobtrusive as possible but had to have it on there as it's from a commercial project.

I feel like we should try to populate this thread with as many wallpapers as possible before the first iPad gets delivered around March 16-ish (sometimes they get there a day early).

Sorry, you can't add resolution to a photo. I searched google for a higher resolution version of your image, but nothing turned up. You might have to pick a new wallpaper 🙁

I could interpolate it for you, but that would most likely look worse.
 
Help Converting from iPhone

I wish I could do this myself but I am such an idiot when it comes to photoshop. Would anyone be so kind to help me convert these iPhone papes into New iPad Retina Display wallpapers? These are some of my favs.

Thanks guys!
