Sparrow looks better than ever in version 1.6.2.

Sparrow, my favorite mail client on both Mac and iOS, just received a new update that will be particularly exciting to those of you with the new MacBook Pro. In addition to support for OS X Mountain Lion and Notification Center, Sparrow 1.6.2 brings high-resolution graphics for the new MacBook Pro’s Retina display. It’s also on sale for just $4.99 until Monday, July 16.

Although Mountain Lion is yet to hit the Mac App Store just yet, Sparrow is already prepared for its release. What’s more, it now takes advantage of the new operating system’s Notification Center to display alerts for new emails in the corner of your screen.

But arguably the most exciting change to Sparrow 1.6.2 is its high-resolution graphics for the new Retina MacBook Pro — a change you’ll certainly notice if you have the new machine.

Furthermore, to celebrate this update, Sparrow has been reduced to just $4.99 — down from $9.99 — until Monday, July 16. So if the app’s been on your shopping list for a while, now is a great time to buy it.
