I was waiting for that question! :D

Well, I haven't actually looked at the iPad SDK yet. Fact of the matter is,
that iPhone application will just run. So every app compiled with XMLVM
should run on an iPad.

Keep in mind that our primary goal right now is cross-compiling Android
Apps. So the question is, does the iPad API have any functionality that
Android already has but the iPhone doesn't. I think it will definitely get
interesting in terms of skaling, especially when we see Android Netbooks and
tablets out there, that don't have that small phone screen. Then you might
think about targeting the iPad specifically. At the moment, with just
Android phones, I don't think you would target the iPad, except for the
iPhone compatibility mode.

But that just my first assumption/analysis.

we'll have to take a closer look at the SDK. I would assume that it is 
not that much different from the regular iPhone OS API. I think XMLVM is 
in a good position to target the iPad. We already support Android's 
layout managers which make is much easier to write apps for different 
screen resolutions.

One bigger TODO that comes to mind is our own Java Emulator. That would 
need to be changed for the iPad.
