The iPad will run your iPhone applications and games out of the box, but youāre going to have to do a little stretching to get the full effect.
Since the iPad not only features a larger screen than the iPhone, but a higher resolution screen as well, running existing iPhone apps and games presents a bit of a conundrum. Apple addresses the issue by allowing users to choose one of two ways of running their applications. Small and sharp, or big and slightly less detailed.

It sure sounds like an attractive package, able to play all the apps weāve already purchased at a larger size, but what about original iPad games? Stay tuned.
