Real Racing 2 HD to support 1080p video out

Newer models of the iOS device line have offered excellent-quality video out for some time using Apple's VGA connector cable. Now, Apple's 30-pin to HDMI adapter pushes quality even further. Today, FireMint Games announced its updated Real Racing 2 HD will support full 1080p output with (breathless cut-and-paste-from-press-release-excitement!) "rock-solid frame rates, with an unbeatable hands-on, precision control method that'll have your console green with envy."

Sounds pretty cool? We think so too. Real Racing 2 has already won bunches of awards and this new update makes us want to get racing. Click "read more" to see a video of it in action.

Apple could REALLY penetrate the console market by making one accessory.

One end of the cable would be 30-pin dock connector. The other end would have three cables. HDMI, Power and a controller.

This way, you could turn your iPad 2, iPhone 5 or iPod Touch 5 into a KILLER home console.

Any thoughts?

Dear TUAW,

what is going on with the m. version of the site, the commenting system fails more often to post than not and when linking back from a reply notification it just dumps you in the new articles front?

it used to be solid enough until, hmm, a week or two ago?

Seems cool but, at this point why not just play GT5 or Forza.

Really wish that you would post videos in HTML5 format instead of Flash.

There's an extension for Safari that will convert Flash media links to HTML5. Works like a charm.

Or is it the FlashtoHTML5 extension? One of the twoâ€¦ I have both installed.

I wish this could be done through Apple TV instetad of the HDMI adapter though. I can't wait till Infinity Blade adopts this. I find the hardest part is adjusting the controls to work as there are no physical buttons on the iPad or iPhone.
