I think it's more likely that the iPad will do a similar x2 increase in resolution, i.e. go from 1024x768 to 2048x1536... You don't need the same level of DPI

I think it's more likely that the iPad will do a similar x2 increase in resolution, i.e. go from 1024x768 to 2048x1536... You don't need the same level of DPI on the iPad and it would just take too much grunt to push the same DPI as the iPhone on that screen.

iPad is partially marketed as a reading device, so larger resolutions are warranted. And doubling the resolution is quite clever trick as it makes scaling legacy apps much, much easier
