Clearly designing for the Ipod Touch and Iphone would have the clear constraints in terms of size so game assets would have to be a fair size whereas with the Ipad, it is much more sizable. Furthernmore the graphical capability of the Ipad I assume is likely to be superior. Of course this is just speculative so I shall have to research this further.
