    Qualcomm has released its Augmented Reality Software Development Kit (SDK) for iOS. The SDK allows iOS developers to create impressive augmented reality applications, and is available to download now. The technology is impressive, and we’re looking forward to seeing Qualcomm AR SDK apps hit our own iOS App Store soon.

    Qualcomm’s new SDK is available for Android developers, and one example app is Inch High Stunt Guy, which allows users to control a bike-riding stuntman as he cruises across a tabletop. Check out the video below:

    The Qualcomm Augmented Reality SDK is available to download from here, and supports the iPhone 4, iPad 2 and fourth generation iPod touch.

    iPad with Retina Display was much rumored earlier this year, iPad 2X graphics were found in the iBooks application and were immediately assumed to be for the iPad 2, which does not include a Retina display once unveiled.

    Now, the guys at TechUnwrapped digging deep inside the new iOS 5 SDK have found images marked with 2X making the new iPad capable of displaying 2048 x 1536 resolution on its display (four times the pixels) of the current iPad (1024 x 768) this pushes the speculation further more as this is not apparently for pure testing purposes. The image below from Newsstand app.

    As iOS 5 is the base for the next generation iPhone and iPad it does make sense that the new iPad will get a really Retina display after all
