part of building for the web is accepting that everything is in a constant state of flux—there isn’t enough time and money in the world to “fix” the internet every time a company releases a new technology.

I think it’s really exciting to think that one day a vast amount of design execution may take place in the authoring of styles in the browser, rather than the utilizing of a Photoshop GUI.

Agreed - with mobile networks being a very weak link (in the UK we won’t be getting 4G any time soon) in terms of bandwidth for larger media.

What frustrates me however is how Apple-centric this appears. Maybe I’m slightly jaded — I read a lot online — but it seems to me that people only care about web-related issues when Apple *makes* them an issue. The reality is most people don’t use Apple devices. While their technology is undoubtedly the most fine-tuned and best experienced, they’re not alone. I’m sick of reading articles akin to “is your website Retina-ready?”. High pixel density is a challenge without many answers right now but isolating it to a single device is not helpful in the long term.

Ultimately, we shouldn’t be asking “how do we handle the new iPad” when the bigger problem is a question of “how do we handle high PPI?”.

Thanks!
