Hi, I have tried countless amount of times to turn it on, I mean, how can I run my app on the new ipad at 2048x1536, it is always scaling up the app content times 2 and if I try to scale down the whole stage >> 1 (or / 2) of course all images looks blury and horrible, any idea? any one?

something very interesting to mention is that apps made in Adobe Air looks looks slightly better on iPad2 than iPad3, because the whole content of the air app is being scaled x 2, especially on vector content like Textfields fonts, etc... this is weird, it doesn't seem to happen on native apps.

any thoughts about this?

thanks.

My new iPad didn't arrive yet, but one difference between what you are doing and what a native app is doing is that you may be using regular fonts and native apps are using device fonts. How is the quality of the text if you use _sans as the font?

hi, thanks for answering... let's forget about what I said about fonts, etc... I am just trying to make it work, make my app run at 2048x1536 instead of (1024x768 scaled x 2), any thoughts? cheers.

I'll know for sure in a few hours, but I expecting that if you set requestedDisplayResolution to 'high', you would get 960x640 on iPhone 4, and 2048x1536 on the new iPad.
