What are the correct pixel dimensions for an apple-touch-icon?

Question

I\'m not sure what the correct size should be.

Many sites seem to repeat that the apple-touch-icon should be 57x57 pixels but cite a broken link as their source.

Answer 1

NilObject's link led me to the great blog post Catchup on your Icon at makentosh.com

... Of course all of this inconsistency had to be dealt with eventually, right? Well 2.0 dealt with it in fine fashion! Finally 57x57 actually meant 57x57.

...each and every pixel ... rendered perfectly.
