Apple fans picking up a on launch will be keen to show off that new . Aside from Apple's built in Apps, there are very few apps as yet with dedicated support for the new Retina display.

Apple has a list of suggested apps for the new iPad, but this includes some apps and games (admittedly very good ones) that don't yet support the Retina display.

So if you're looking for some high-resolution Retina-display app action, here's a list of apps to check out. (Note: all links open iTunes).

Vimeo has added support for the Retina display, which the company says will make videos on Vimeo look beautiful on the new iPad from the moment it arrives. Even better, Vimeo is a free app and the update is available to everyone with the Vimeo app on his or her iPhone, iPad or iPod touch.
