Jailbreak Only: RetinaPad - View iPhone Apps In HD On Your iPad
by Joe White
December 27, 2010
RetinaPad is a new jailbreak tweak that displays Retina-optimized iPhone apps in HD, when viewed on an iPad in "compatibility mode." Currently, the tweak is available for $2.99 in the Cydia Store.
If you own an iPad, you'll certainly be familiar with the fuzzy, 2x mode of viewing iPhone-only apps on an iPad. Personally, this is something I never do, because the pixilated image makes my head hurt. Thankfully, the jailbreak community has a solution.
RetinaPad is a great new tweak that effectively increases the resolution of Retina-ready iPhone only apps when displayed on an iPad.
The results, as you can see in the screenshots below, are very good. If there are a variety of iPhone only apps you often find yourself using on the iPad, you should definitely check out this tweak. It sure beats waiting for a universal version of an app to be developed (right, Facebook?).
