add_image_size and iPad Retina Display (high pixel density)

i was just wondering if anyone has come up with or thought about a solution for inline images and the new iPad coming out.

i would love to use a combination of add_image_size and this jQuery Script (https://github.com/mcilvena/jQuery-Retina-Display-Plugin) to pull this off.

basically, we have content contributors in the office that would upload an image at say 900 x 900 pixels, and then the system would keep one large image for the retina display and then generate another image at 50% of that size for normal displays.

just curious if anyone has seen this being done.

Cheers!

I developed a plugin that does that. It creates the new images for you (with @2x), tells you if the original image is not big enough (and give you a ‘Reupload’ button), then serves it to the clients using two methods (a image handler or a script). Please try it and tell me if I can make it better for you. It is available on WordPress Repository: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-retina-2x.
