The New York Times points out what we (and Gruber) first saw when we fired up our new iPad — most web images look terrible its Retina display. Companies that do business on the web now have a difficult decision to make about their graphics. Do they spend the extra cost to create, store and serve up retina-compatible images on their website or do they spend that money on a retina iPad app instead?
It’s a decision that’ll affect the company’s finances as well as its website’s performance as larger images will take longer to load. It will also impact iPad owners who browse over a cellular connection and must download these bigger files. If you’re an iPad owner, what would you prefer?
