I am excited about getting one for Father's Day...but have to wait because they are sold out in the stores in Houston. I wanted to know how games I have for the iPhone look and play on the ipad. More importantly, will my progress on an iPhone game carry over to my ipad and vice versa? Thanks!
Got a tip for us?

They are tolerable, but once you play a game designed for iPad you will notice the difference big time.
As far as i know progress and saves will not transfer. I tested loading up Angry Birds and had to start from scratch on iPad.

Thanks! I guess I'll hold off on buying the Plants vs Zombies game I love for the iPad...I don't see a need to spend $10 and have to start from scratch.
Actually the iPad is so much larger that you will have a bit of a learning curve, so it's not all that bad a deal that you have to start over. 
Just saying that I absolutely love pvz on the iPad, I beat it too on my itouch, although I got my iPad weeks ago and I downloaded it then, I didn't start playing till last week because of the same reason you have, though when I started playing it feels and looks awesome
I have to say pvz is one of the best looking apps on the iPad
Good point! I was thinking about getting Field Runners again, but I like PvZ a lot more. I guess I could get comfortable with a few beers and start over! I wish there were more games of this quality and replay value! Now that I think about it, I may get Angry Birds and Asphalt 5. I am pretty pysched to see what it will be like going from my 3GS to an iPad. I know it's going to be a whole new ballgame!
