iPad vs. iphone apps...updates for iPad or new apps?

ok...here's the thing...I synced my apps from my iPhone to my iPad and obviously the format isn't correct for the iPad. Will the writer produce updates for the apps I previously have or will i have to downlad the same app which is iPad specific?

I am thinking of deleting all my iphone apps off my iPad...what do you think?

iPhone 3GS, iPad 64gb -3G, HP Pavilion Dv6338se, HP Desktop, Windows Vista

That's what I did too. iPhone apps are iPhone apps. They don't belong on iPad.
The small window was ******* me off and blowing it up 2x makes the resolution look terrible. I'm sure the devs will charge you for the iPad apps, if you bought iPhone ones. Free ones will probably still remain free.

Most iPad apps are marked as *universal - the download contains both apps - for iPhone and iPad* resolutions. Look for them on the App Store!
