iPad only screen

I am updating my app (iTeachSmart) and have added some new features such as downloading files to dropbox from the app without using the dropbox API (fingers crossed Apple approves this update). I am wondering if it possible to load separate menu screens for iPad. For example, one menu list screen on iPhone has 40x40 icons that look tiny on iPad. Ideally if device is a iPhone/iPod Touch the screen with small icons loads, if an iPad then the screen with large icons (or even a buttons menu). Only other option i can see is to remove support for iPad from my app and create/release a separate iPad app.

I don't know if you are used to tweaking the code on your own, but if you are this is a very useful line of code I've been using for iPad specific icons, backgrounds, etc. if([appDelegate.rootApp.rootDevice isIPad]) { your code here } Basically, "If the device is an iPad, do this" - I'm pretty sure what your saying is possible...if I figure it out I'll post back here

Thanks, Yes I'm used to tweaking the code. My app is now version 2.1. Version 1.0 was done on buzz touch, 1.1, 1.2, 1.2.1, 1.3 and 2.0 have all been done by tweaking the config and .m .h files. I'll check the code you gave me. I'm guessing what you mean is: if iPad - use iPadconfig.txt if iPhone - use iPhoneconfig.txt if so, then that would be perfect! Mark
