Apple’s new iPad is officially on sale. The hot new tablet became available at Walmart at 12am this morning, and at Apple stores at 8am. As most of you likely already know, the big new feature in the third-generation iPad is its Retina display, which sports a 2048×1536 resolution, twice that of the iPad 2. Unfortunately, if you want to really enjoy the better resolution, you’ll need to download apps that have upped their pixel count as well. Here, a complete list of all the iPad apps out today that have been upgraded to maximize the shiny new screen:

It seems fans have kept their eyes on this landmark development. Soon after its release, the Delta emulator app climbed to the top of the App Store download charts in 35 countries. An iPad app is already on its way. The momentum continued with the release of the Gamma emulator for PlayStation 1 titles. And last week, PPSSPP – arguably the best mobile emulator out there – landed on the App Store.
