It won't mean more sales overall, but more visibility. That said, while I understand the strategy, I don't think it will really work for iPad. That devices market will no doubt skew older than iPhone/touch, and most likely will not be flooded with those in their teens and early twenties which make up the large bulk of those downloading games on the iPhone/touch platform (particularly the iPod touch, which skews slightly younger than iPhone and is smack dab in the wheelhouse of the "core" gamer age group).
