  What's so special about them, you might ask? Well, programming by

  Well, Apple calls iPhone/iPad apps (iow. the same executable can be run
natively in both the iPhone/iPod Touch and the iPad) "universal".

  Objective C++, to be more exact.

Doesn't Apply also apply that terminology to binaries that work on both 
PPC and x86 Macs?

  Yes. I think the distinction is "universal MacOS X app" (an app that runs
natively on all machines running MacOS X) and "universal iOS app" (an app
that runs natively on all machines running iOS).

Apple is truly full of manure.  Specially as the iPad is essentially an
iPhone...

guess it's kinda like Microsoft saying .NET is multiplatform:  it runs on
Windows 2000, Windows XP, XP Home, XP Enterprise, Vista Basic etc...

  When you compile a program, you have to set the target to iPhone or iPad.
A program compiled for the iPhone target will run on an iPad, but under a
more or less light "emulation" environment. A program compiled for the
iPad cannot, AFAIK, be run on the iPhone. (Well, I suppose it could be
theoretically run, if the iOS offered an environment to run iPad apps on
the iPhone and eg. scaled down the views. However, AFAIK it doesn't.)

  There's also a joint iPhone/iPad target you can choose, in which case the
app will run "natively" on both. (In practice for this to work the app has
to have separate nib files or other configuration data for the two platforms.)

Very cool. Congrats.

So the first one is matching up letters in different words to guess the 
word, like Jotto or Mastermind type? It's hard to tell what the game is from 
the description.

In any case, very neat.

Well, with the exception that *now* it actually *is* multiplatform, with 
Mono and such. MS opened it up to standardization, unlike Apple.

  It's a bit like mastermind, but with words. There's a mystery word you
have to solve, and you do that by entering valid English words (or whatever
dictionary language you are using from the available ones). The letters
will be colored according to whether the letter appears in the mystery
word, and if it's in the correct position.
