The way to look at iPad is a more powerful iPod Touch. Not a whole new platform. This is how Apple is treating iPad and apps.
So iNavX on iPad will look and feel like iNavX on iPhone, but have additional features because of the additional speed and screen real-estate.
Not quite a "big" iPod Touch. The iPad has MUCH more screen real estate than anything else Apple makes in this area, and that has a hugh impact on what developers can do with it. I've been thinking about how to adopt AyeTides to it, and I can do so much more that I'm thinking about a totally new version instead of simply putting iPad-specific views in the current app. I don't want to clutter up the app with views and code that would never be used.
There's an interesting take on this at http://www.tuaw.com/2010/02/01/ipad-devs...-patterns/
