[QUOTE="WizarDru, post: 5362375, member: 151"] Correct, HD is short for High Definition in these cases. Titles that have been rewritten with better graphics and to take advantage of the iPad's screen are often labeled with HD at the end. Apps currently come in three flavors: [LIST] [*]Written for iPhone (works on iPad) [*]Written for both iPhone and iPad [*]Written for iPad [/LIST] Example: Inexplicably, Facebook has no iPad app. The iPhone app runs on the iPad, but is horribly pixelated. Dungeon Solitaire will run on both my iPhone and iPad, but detects which one you're using and scales the graphics accordingly. Reiner Kniziai's Samurai is only on the iPad. Some games have multiple versions and the HD version is short-hand for 'the iPad version'. Example: Angry Birds versus Angry Birds HD. [/QUOTE]
