Windows 8 will support tablets with Retina Display-beating resolutions

Didn't think you could get crisper than the new iPad 3's razor sharp screen? Think again
Windows 8 will support tablets with Retina Display-beating resolutions

It's no secret that we absolutely love the new Apple iPad 3's 2048x1536 264ppi Retina Display. It blew our eyes away in both our our iPad 3 review and iPad 3 video review, and we just can't get enough of those sweet pixels.

Now our eyes could be in for an even bigger pixel-packing extravaganza as a Windows engineering team blog has revealed that Windows 8 will support 10.1in screens at an iPad-busting 2560x1440 resolution, resulting in a mighty 291ppi resolution (versus the iPad's 264ppi glass).

It's far too early to say which manufacturers will be selling tablets with a 2560x1440 resolution at launch, but it's encouraging to know that Windows 8 has the capability to fulfil the desires of the pixel-hungry masses.
