I haven't heard this from any official source, but I belive it's to encourage developers to produce an iPad specific version of their application. Likely, there's also the extra benefit that people will pay a little extra for an iPad version even if they've already bought the iPhone version because

Could someone explain why the iPad scales up the "2x" iphone apps? It is scaling a 480x320 app, not just using the 960x640 resolution like the iPhone 4 does. LAME BTW. I never install iPhone apps on the iPad. I did a couple times and it's terrible. So much for Apple's perfection when it comes

The comment in the Holiday special about 'no-one uses the 2x iPhone apps on an iPad. No-one. No-one' I thought was kind of odd. We just got an iPad this month and about half of apps we've downloaded, free and purchased, have been iPhone apps and have had the 2x in in the bottom corner, and yes, the

Just to be clear Tor (in a public forum), my fascination was mostly about the fact that you were *gushing* about how much you loved your iPad and iPhone until just very recently. Now you're "ready to sell the iPad" and are in awe of your new Nexus S. From my perspective - that's great! I don't h
