  Good point, does anyone know the max texture size on the Apple phones?
  
  What is the max for Android?
  
  Edit: Found this:
  
  iPhone <= 3 1024x1024 max, iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, third-generation iPod touch, and the iPad support a max texture size of 2048x2048, OpenGLES 2.0 and real pixel pipeline for fragment shaders.
  
  Android: old cheap device texture max size is 1024x1024.new devices 4096+x4096+...

  So, stick to 2048x2048 and below to work on the maximum amount.
  
  Does gideros report and error when loading a texture that won't fit?

  It depend on your device.
  
  As far as I know, on iPhone, game will suddenly close if image texture is too large.

  What iOS version should I set to ignore iPhone 3G user from install my games?

  Shaders are supported for iPhone 3GS+, iPad 1+ and iPod touch 3rd gen+. So that if you specify opengles-2 under the UIRequiredDeviceCapabilities key in your .plist file, you can ignore iPhone 3G users.

  Currently it doesn't. But most probably you'll get a white texture.

  @atilim: Hi, I have a question: if I use a small texture (example 534x360px for @1x, 1068x730px for @2x)
  
  So does the old iPhone 3G just look for @1x images and my game is still playable?
