The iPad App Store has got a new ‘Great Apps for the new iPad’ section in the Featured area this week.

Apple has done this before shortly after the iPad 3 was released – but the section is beefed up now with a greater number of Apple and 3rd party apps that support the new iPad and its retina display.

There are now three sub-sections to the Great apps for the new iPad section:

Apple Apps has a dozen of their excellent iPad apps including  iPhoto, Keynote, Numbers, Pages, iMovie and more

Apps shows off 80 titles from 3rd party developers

Games now has 50 entries that should be great apps to show off what the new iPad can do.

You’ll find this new featured section as one of the rotating highlighted sections at the top of the main featured area in the iPad App Store.
