Description

*Expected results:*
I would like to create a Phonegap application, using the http://www.phonegap.com/start/ guide. I need to create it for retina display that uses the 640x960px resolution.
*Actual Results:*
Both non-retina and retina simulators present a resolution 320px. Although the menu interfaces have different resolutions the help Phonegap example file shows in low resolution. See following screenshot

iPhone non-retina 320px width

iPhone Retina 320px width

iPad at 768px width

Also noticed that when launching the retina simulator the default splash screen says retina and on the non-retina the splashscreen says non retina. Which is correct behavior

*How to reproduce*

• Borrow a friends mac who has OSX Lion
• Download Phonegap 1.1 & Xcode 4.2 and iOS5 sdk for lion
• Follow steps in [Phonegap guide](http://www.phonegap.com/start/) EXACTLY < don't mess with anything other than what the guide says
• See a Hey it's Phonegap message on all 3 simulators
• Notice that both retina and non-retina resolutions are identical
• Go to irc channel for support
• After trying to solve this problem on your own post a bug report on github

Also I'm not ready yet to purchase the Apple developer license for 99 dollars just to test Phonegap (I'm usually developing for android)
