All the icons i am designing for iPad & iPhone applications are looking good on my PC. But the same is looking blurred on any iPad or iPhone. Can any one please help/suggest something, is there anything I am doing wrong while designing in Photoshop

Might be you are using some other size dimensions (height/width) in your Ipad/iphone thats why they are getting blurred..please make it sure the dimension which your icon has,and which you are using in your code, both same in your code? – Jack Dec 30 '11 at 9:47
I am using same width and height. – Manisha Gupta Dec 30 '11 at 10:16
I guess its completely related to your device, coz as you say everything goes fine with Photoshop on your desktop.. – Jack Dec 30 '11 at 10:29
I have updated your question, you know how to design in photoshop i guess..but your question was not saying that.. – Jack Dec 30 '11 at 10:37

We need a lot more info. Are these web site icons? App icons? What dimensions are they being exported as? If it's a web page can we have a link to the page? – DA01 Dec 30 '11 at 18:18

Icons for iThings have to be created in multiple sizes. What appears to be blur, I suspect, is a problem with scaling. There is a good discussion here of all the necessary sizes (9 separate sizes) and the various quirky things that can happen to them when they are displayed on a particular device in a given context.

Be sure you're saving png files, not jpegs (especially super-compressed jpegs), and follow the Apple HI guidelines for iOS.
