I bet Apple sues 'em for picking a name so close to their own iPod Touch. I mean, the thing's gotta be a total ripoff of it, right? ;-) What is this " iTouch "?

I've come across less than a handful of games that were "iPhone only" and that have stayed that way (most of the devs who release "iPhone only" at first change it later, realizing their mistake). And NONE of the larger devs have EVER released an "iPhone only" game. If they did the number crunchers in their company would beat them to death ;) There are VERY few games that don't work across both lines on devices, and that's because the vast majority of developers aren't stupid enough to split their own potential market.

That is the default behaviour. The only time clarification is needed, is if a device-specific feature is required, such as GPS.
