We have been working for about a month on a new version of the Salsa Rhythm iPhone Application. Our focus was to create a better user experience by improving the graphics and sound sample quality.
One of the main features that will be visible for all the iPhone 4 users is the new Retina resolution graphics we have included. The instrument icons will suddenly look much sharper and crispier on your mobile device screen, along with new glyphs for the Piano, the bass and the conga drums.
To see how big the difference is, I have prepared an illustration, containing real graphics from the application. In this illustration, you can see the low resolution graphics and the Retina resolution graphics side-by-side, so you can get a good feeling of what it looks like:
The pixelated image on the left is what you see in the old app version. However, after you upgrade to the new version you will see the high resolution image on the right (you must have iPhone 4).
There are even additional improvements waiting for you in version 1.1 of the Salsa Rhythm App for iPhone, and it has just been dispatched to the Appstore approval process, meaning it will be available within a few days.
You can sign-up to our mailing list and get updates about the new version, also a chance to win a free copy.

Hope it releases this coming Tuesday – great news about updating to retina display graphics – can so easily tell, and it’s a great shorthand way for an iPhone 4 user to see if an app is being kept up to date just by looking at the icon’s resolution before buying. Can’t wait to hear the new sound samples and see what else is changed
Hi Tom, the new version is out as planned,
