PadGadget did some digging through Apple's database and found references to several "HD" versions of some games, presumably set for release when the iPad is launched next week on April 3.

Plants vs. Zombies (PC)

The games are:

Ammoin HD
Azkend HD
Flight Control HD
Grind HD
HD Recovery
Labyrinth 2 HD
NBA Hotshot HD
Numba HD
Plants vs. Zombie HD
Sparkle HD
Worms HD

As of this story, references to these games have been removed from the App Store web interface where they were first spotted. Though I won't be getting an iPad, the thought of iPad-sized Plants vs. Zombies and Worms is appealing.

    Actually 720p is 1280 x 720 and most 720p displays are actually 1366 x 768. : FIGHTheSYSTM

      Actually entry level plasma screens with non-square pixels run at this resolution and are sold as HD. : crimrOw

      Actually marketing something on a small 4:3 screen as "HD" in 2010 seems kinda goofy to me. : at0micgarden

    - Yup. The thing that throws the iPad off is that it is a narrower dimension than the 16:9 than HD displays... : Serpico74
- Well, the iPad display is listed as "widescreen" on Apple.com specs page, so why not this. : shurcool
- "Huge Display?" : Ishtacka
