There are already answers for ObjectiveC but here's a C# version:

 bool retina = (UIScreen.MainScreen.Scale > 1.0);

That will work for the newer iPhone and iPod Touch and I suspect (will know in less than two weeks) for the new iPad.

Jason's approach will work too and can be attractive if you need to know several hardware related features (e.g. retina + camera).

interesting - I assumed you had to check the device type to know this – Jason Mar 08 '12 at 11:59
