Hi Jake, Under Build Settings for your app, go to Deployment Settings. There is a section called Targeted Devices, and you can choose from iPhone only, iPad only, or iPhone/iPad. There's no way to prevent iPod, from what I can tell. Mark

But I saw an app that was iPad 2 only (iMovie). In the store if you. Do not have and iPad 2, and try to buy it, it says "you need a camera". Is there a way to say you need "calling capabilities"?

Was that just a comment in the description of the item on iTunes store? They may have allowed iPad but wanted to clarify that it is really iPad2 only. I can see a need maybe in the future for Apple to refine that a little more...

Releated to this, have found it useful to have a copied app of one that is live so that I can test changes. I am doing this currently with an app I have that is on app store so that I can test the next version without annoying current users.

But Apple posted: iMovie is compatible with iPhone 4 running iOS 4 or later. iMovie is also compatible with iPod touch (4th generation) running iOS 4.1 or later. iMovie is not compatible with earlier models of iPhone or iPod touch, and it is not compatible with iPad. The computer you sync iMovie with must have iTunes 9.2 or later, which you can download for free here. They leave out 3Gs and iPad 1
