icons and retina display optimisation

ok...so we move on and the iPhone 4 is firmly established.  There is an issue as a developer though.  This lovely new hi res retina display means we have to have our apps fitted with hi res images and low res (for the iphone/3/3g crowd) images and the app detects the phone and iOS and puts the right ones in there.

What does this mean? it means we have to re-create our icons a coupld of times over, for different phone screens, ipad screen and then smaller versions for the settings menu and such like.  I had fun with this, way more fun than coding could ever bring.  So I donned my photoshop cape and got to it right away....here are my results.

Pretty cool even if i do say so myself. Take note of the size difference from iphone to iPhone 4 and iPad, this gives you an idea of how hi res the phone screen really is.  Let me know if you need any help with an icon, we love designing them and enjoy it way more than coding! (did i mention this once or twice already?)

So, on to the final phase of testing and we're looking good for a launch in the next few weeks, although i am due a vacation and will probably delay launching until my return!
