Sparrow Updated For Retina Display, Mountain Lion

Sparrow, a popular mail client for OS X, was recently updated to version 1.6.2. This update brings a slew of minor updates to Sparrow, including standard bug fixes and memory optimization options as well as an update for POP notifications. However, a few larger changes were made to Sparrow as well. These include Retina sisplay  and OS X Mountain Lion compatibility so you can take advantage of your MacBook Pro’s 5.1 million pixels while browsing your email.
