Nice tutorial, only thing I would say, is the left icon actually renders more clearly then the right. If you look at them both, the right looks more of a mess for trying to be sharp at this pixel rate. It’s far easier on the eye to allow rendering blur when resizing an image to anything smaller then its parent size.

Most or all phone devices don’t have a high pixel rate and it would be impossible to make something look as good as illustrator for rendering on a device like this. The smaller you get the less of a pixel area you have to play with, so try using this effect to soften the edges and you will come out with a nicer looking icon.

I love this post :) we are currently looking to develop an app for the iPhone, could you email me with a price for the app screen and icon design?

Thanks

I know but this article was written before the iPhone 4 came out. I need to update it sooner or later.

Don’t forget to use larger images for the iPhone 4 (keyword: …@2x.png) so you’ll need 7 images. :)

And you should mention that Apple has a reference file for iPhone developers that lists all the different images and their conventions. :-)
