I’ve had my new Retina iPad mini for just over a week now. It’s just as great a device as I hoped and expected it would be – and I’ll share more thoughts on it sometime soon.
Whenever I’ve got a brand new device I always end up spending some time on wallpapers and home and lock screen looks. It’s just part of the fun of a new iPad or tablet or smartphone for me.
With that in mind, I thought I’d share an old favorite iPad wallpaper that is looking just glorious on my Retina iPad mini lock screen. It’s an epic image of a space shuttle lift off, one that I found via the fine folks from @retinashots.
It looks good on the home screen too, but it sort of overwhelms the icons – so I prefer it on lock screen only.
