I think this can only be decided with the actual device in my hands (sigh - guess I'll need to invest into new hardware then though I'm still soo happy with my iPad1). This also means that we'd have to wait at least until the device is made available in Germany. As was said already I don't think that it will influence the general screen layout of SqueezePad. Buttons need to stay the same size, because a higher resolution does not mean, that our fingers get smaller :) Of course all internal graphics could be provided in a higher resolution. Then there is also the cover art. The big cover in SqueezePad is already requested in original resolution so might already make use of more pixels. Then we have all those album covers which right now I request in 64x64 (same size as Touch, to take advantage of the image cache that is built while scanning the library). Changing that to 128x128 will make SqueezePad slower when loading the album list the first time and I guess there are still people out there who buy the latest iPad but still run on ultra slow NAS :( Will need to think about whether on iPad3 I will just request the better resolution by default or if there should be a setting (but I don't like settings). So loads of stuff to do once it appears, but the very first thing indeed will be to see how much effect this will make in the end. I never considered the current resolution of the iPad as bad, I mean even games like Infinity Sword look awesome already. So personally (but I'm oldschool when it comes to gimmics ;) ) I think that the new iPad will matter as much as cameras with 12megapixels compared to 8megapixels: Good for selling devices but no actual difference in daily use. -- bluegaspode Did you know: *'SqueezePlayer' (www.squeezeplayer.com)* will stream all your music to your Android device.
