The Retina display on the new iPad, available Friday, is absolutely stunning. However, the increase in resolution actually makes some older apps appear all pixelated and gross. You don’t want to show off your brand new iPad and leave your friends with the impression that the screen on your new tablet is any less clear than a shimmering pool of unicorn tears. Here are several iPad apps that have been updated with Retina-ready graphics so everyone within eyesight can witness the pixel-pushing power of your new Apple tablet. Besides the titles that were featured in the iPad introduction event, Apple has setup a new section on the iTunes App Store to highlight Retina-ready titles. I’ve handpicked a few titles from this list and from other updates I’m aware of for you to try out.

We won't be able to list every single retina app in the App Store, but we will cover some of our favorites below. If there are any that we have missed, please let us know in the comments!

Apparently Walmart will be selling them in just a few short hours, well before Apple itself does tomorrow morning. Meanwhile, the first direct-to-consumer shipments should be hitting anytime now.

By Phillip Levin on January 30th, 2012 Apps in the classroom? Heck yeah. Educators who use new technology in the classroom are awesome. I remember one of my journalism professors regularly using his iPad as a tool in his lectures. I thought doing so was an innovative and creative way of utilizing the at-the-time new device. Vito Technology dropped us a line this week to let us know that its own apps are increasingly being used by educators and students in the pursuit of learning. The studio’s three apps, Star Walk, Solar Walk, and >Geo Walk, are being called excellent educational tools. News of the apps being popular educational tools, though, doesn’t come too surprising. I had played around with Solar Walk in particular and was quite impressed. In particular, it seems the two astronomy apps have been the most useful according to feedback from educators. Star Walk uses the iPhone

To date, I still don’t get 3-D TV. Oh, I get it — I understand it — but I fail to see the appeal. I do think I’ve found an exception though; it’s called Solar Walk, and it’s a $3 astronomy app for iOS devices that can work in concert with 3-D televisions. More on that in a minute. Outer space was a big deal to me when I was growing up. I lived a few blocks from a planetarium. And once I was old enough to head out and do stuff on my own, I pretty much spent my time there (I know — sexy), head pointed ceilingwards as I took in yet another space show. My planetarium got rebuilt years ago and is now way too high-tech and shiny for me to properly enjoy (I like my planetariums like I like my episodes of “Breaking Bad” — as dark

Apple’s recent iPad 2 commercial displays many great uses for the iPad other than games and web browsing. The iPad can be a great learning tool for both kids and adults. With my oldest son just beginning homeschooling, we plan to use the iPad along with other teaching tools. There are many apps other than the ones shown in this commercial that can be used for learning. Do you have a favorite that’s not listed here? Please share in the comments!

Want to tour the Solar System? Solar Walk is a just-updated universal iOS app that allows you to do just that. The new version has support for 3D, so you get some rather stunning renditions of planets and satellites that are more realistic than what's available in a 2D presentation. I reviewed the app in 2010 and found it to be very educational. Solar Walk would be very nice for teachers, who could plug it into external monitors in the classroom. As near as I can tell, the app doesn't support the high end 3D method that uses shutter glasses or polarizing filters, but instead uses the tried and true red/blue anaglyphic glasses that became popular in the fifties. They are cheap, and easily available from suppliers like Amazon. Note: A late email from the developer says you can use the app with a 3D TV although it is not noted

Russian company Vito Technology was in one of the booths around the Mobile App Showcase at Macworld 2011 last week, and they kindly sat down to show off new versions of their apps, all coming up in the next month or so as free updates on the App Store. Popular astronomy app Star Walk was first. It's getting a visual enhancement in the next version, with a brand new sky and a new look to the stars that's more visually interesting than the current setup. The other feature that will be added is a "calendar of celestial events," where things like meteor showers or lunar eclipses will be tracked (per your location) so that you can see when something interesting is coming up. Later on, Vito wants to add other cultural displays to the app, including constellation charts and other star maps from Hawaiian, Arabic and Native American viewpoints. Star Walk

Apple continue to launch the iPad around the world, with 11 new countries added to the list this week. The lucky ones are Taiwan, Malaysia, South Korea, Sweden, Portugal, Poland, Norway, Hungary, Finland, Denmark and the Czech Republic, where both the Wi-Fi and 3G models should be available from your Apple dealer. A new TV advert has also made its debut this week, entitled ‘iPad is Amazing’. Although it doesn’t break with tradition too much, this new ad highlights some of the new features of iOS 4.2 rather than concentrating on a particular app genre as recent ads have done. It features: We’ve come to expect Pages and some of the standard apps to make an appearance, but the odd-one-out here is AirStrip, a very specific medical application designed for doctors working in hospitals where a particular piece of equipment is being used. That’ll appeal to the person on the street!

With the news that the Sun has sent a blast of plasma towards the Earth hitting the headlines this week, thanks mainly to the prospect of the famed Northern Lights potentially being visible from parts of the UK and North America, we thought it was a good time to highlight the wealth of astronomy-related applications that are available for the iPhone and the iPad. Here are ten which standout: You can purchase an iPhone app for the iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4, but we’ve linked to the iPad-specific version, simply because we think it benefits from the increased screen size. The night sky is still rendered on your iPad, with the positions and names of stars and planets, plus outlines of constellations and lunar phase information. It’s easy to use too. $4.99/£2.99. Well-known and beautifully designed, this is perhaps aimed more at entertaining the casual user than the hardcore enthusiast, but

We met up with both After release, they'll be adding information to Geo Walk in various updates, and Toporkov says the company will listen very closely to the community, adding in suggested information about local landmarks or history when possible. They'd also like to eventually add sounds and videos to the map, rather than just browsing around text points on the globe as you can now. Toporkov says that with Geo Walk, the company is hoping to show customers that they're not just an astronomy company -- while both of their apps so far have focused on space, what they really want to do is just make entertaining educational apps, whatever the subject. I asked the developers about iPhone 4, and they said that they'd be working as hard as possible to make sure all of their current apps were updated for the new handset, as well as staying backwards-compatible with

Solar Walk is a nifty astronomy romp from the folks who did the popular Star Walk iPhone and iPad app. Instead of exploring the night sky and deep space, you get to tour our solar system in luscious 3D graphics. While the app is universal for the iPhone and iPad, the iPad version is breathtaking with crisp graphics and beautiful color. Tapping on any planet will take you close to it, and you can use your finger to orbit the planet and see it from any angle or zoom. You can see the planets on any particular date and time, and speed up the animation to watch the planets in their elliptical orbits. Tapping the info button gets you some information on all the planets, like size, gravity, composition and more. One omission is that the program doesn't tell you which planets are up for viewing on a particular night. You'll
