I've been gathering a list of apps from this forum topic to add to the "ontheappstore" section of the site. I can't promise they'll be on soon as SXSW is upon us, but I'm hoping to do a big update by the end of the month.

To make my life easier, please follow these guidelines:

1) tag your msg "ontheappstore" for new releases (and only the first release, not subsequent promo code updates)
2) make sure you have the itunes link in your msg: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/your-app-name/id5555555555?mt=8
3) be prepared for the day when you will get to enter these yourselves

How do you make a game using resolution independence?

Check the checkbox on the Project Editor for iPhone resolution games.
Use images that are twice the size of what you need.
Develop the game as if it was for lower resolution games(480x320).
That's all.
