Hi, will Cocos2D team consider adding iPad templates? Right now it seems to only support iPhone template, and we will have to manually select: 1) iPhone OS 3.2, 2) iPad rather than iPhone.

Question: is this the correct way right now to start iPad project and optimized for iPad? If not, what am I missing?

I hope the Cocos2D team can just add the iPad support in the template, and starts up with the big icon, big Default screen (in both Portrait and Landscape orientation) to encourage developers to do the right thing. Thanks!

Although I think this is a great idea, if the differences are not that great between the different options then some simple switches (with a comment/link to a cocos2d page explaining the various things to consider regarding target platform/OS) in the AppDelagate might be a better way to go.

Too many templates would might cause alot of confusion as cocos2d already has about 6 templates if I remember correctly.

Also, with OS 4.0 around the corner the possibilities/combination will get even larger. So it might be worth considering some sort of standardized way to approach any coding considerations that can be expanded as new features, devices, OS's are released. IMHO.

I think they can do like what Apple did: when you choose a template, there is a Product popup menu on top that says iPhone or iPad.
