Much has been waxed lyrical about the brilliant high resolution Retina Display on the new iPad; now, the spotlight has been shifted to apps that are made to take full advantage of the new screen. Yesterday, we reported that ; there's now a full list of third party Retina-ready apps given by Apple to Tech Crunch. The long list is quite commendable given that it takes a substantial amount of time to upgrade existing games with larger images with better resolution. No comment has been made on the size of these third-party apps yet.

TechCrunch - When I asked Apple for a list of third-party Retina-ready apps (all of Apple’s apps are already upgraded) a few days ago for my iPad review, I was told that there would be a list ready to go for the actual launch on Friday. Sure enough, today Apple came back with an early list of apps. And they’ve pushed a new section of the App Store devoted to the new Retina apps. But I’ve also found several others that aren’t on their list yet. Below, find a list of the new apps you’ll want in order to take full advantage of the new screen.
