In my experience with app development, having worked on multiple handset-to-tablet conversions as well as universal-upfront projects, it is a bear to add tablet in after the fact when it wasn't considered upfront. And the opposite is also true, that if you do both along side one another, it really isn't that bad. I guess I'm just surprised they would be willing to tackle cross platform upfront (ios/android) but not cross form-factor (handset/tablet).
