Apps for the New iPad’s Retina Display: Netflix, Games and More

The new iPad from Apple is getting a lot of negative publicity because of its heatgate and chargegate issues, but will those stop consumers from buying it?  I don’t think so.  Whatever problems the new iPad may have, it’s still an Apple device, and people will still buy and use it, ignoring trivial issues like burning thighs or low charge ratios.

So let’s not dwell on the negativities and just look at the bright side.

The new iPad boasts a stunning Retina Display that awes with crisp images on your screen.  So it’s just fitting that you get the right apps to take full advantage of your new iPad.

Here are some of the best HD apps for your new iPad:

Games

Productivity

  • Dolphin Browser HD – this browsers is for people who love to tinker and customize their stuff.
  • Good Reader – this app is for book enthusiasts and people on the go who need file readers all the time.
  • iPhoto – for those not satisfied with their photos and think that a little bit of tweaking will make it better.
  • Dropbox – this one is for the data monsters who have loads and loads of data that they “need all the time”
  • LogMeIn – for remote accessing or controlling your PCs or Macs on the go

Entertainment/Reading

  • Star Walk – though this app has been around since the first iPad, the new version is optimized for the new iPad and it now features new SkyLive with animation.
  • Air Video – because of the Retina Display along with the screen size, the iPad is a great video player and this app eliminates the need to convert files just so you can watch videos on your new iPad.
  • Epicurious – foodies would surely love this app
  • The Guardian Eyewitness – this app showcases the world’s most distinctive and provocative photographs, providing a daily, visual reflection of global events
  • NewsRack –  full-featured RSS reader that lets you skim over the latest headlines on a beautiful rack of newspapers

And Netflix’s updated app, version 2.1.1, is now fitted for the new iPad’s Retina Display, plus it features fixes for VoiceOver, AirPlay, stability, and the app is now faster.

It seems like Apple’s Retina Display is the envy of not only gadgets but social networking sites as well.  Facebook upgraded their photo viewer and it now displays photos in high resolution (2048 x 2048) by default, but you can revert to low resolution to speed things up.
