[RC1] what's the best practice to lazy load images?

Can I use <ion-img> directly, without wrapping it in a virtual scroll?

I had the same problem. I posted a bug report since my images were deformed in iOS. Someone replied the following:

don’t use ion-img except inside virtualscroll. Just use a standard img [src]

I’ve the same problem (still). Basically tried everything, but the app continues to search for the image at local host. Anyone a solution that works with the folder structure that is used by the authors of ionic (src/pages/name.dir/name.files)? Would be great!
