iPad icon & launch screen sizes – Must know!

Taking a look at the documentation for SDK 3.2 there is mention of some new items for the iPad! I will just aim to clarify the launch screen and the application icon sizes.
iPad Application Icon
Size: 72x72px
iPad Application Icon for Spotlight search results
Size: 50x50px (the iPhone OS trims 1px from each side bringing it to 48x48px)
iPad Application Settings Icon
Size: 29x29px
iPad Application Custom Document Icons
Size: 64x64px & 320x320px (large)
iPad Launch Screen sizes & options
Portrait Size: 768x1024px
Landscape Size: 1024x768px
Options:
- Default-PortraitUpsideDown.png (takes precedence over Default-Portrait.png if included)
- Default-LandscapeLeft.png (takes precedence over Default-Landscape.png if included)
- Default-LandscapeRight.png (takes precedence over Default-Landscape.png if included)
- Default-Portrait.png (required – Specifies the generic portrait version of the launch image.)
- Default-Landscape.png (required – Specifies the generic landscape version of the launch image. )
- Default.png (not recommended for iPad™ Application usage – allows you to keep using Default.png for the iPhone™ version of your app!)
I am now offering these services for all the upcoming iPad developers out there!

I’m about to create my first one…
Does the store automatically add the “gloss”? I thought I remembered reading that when the store first opened. Also, doesn’t the iPhone auto mask the icon with the rounded corners or should I included them in the PSD?
Thanks!!

Hey! Yes you can choose whether or not the icon is glossed from within XCode… The rounded corners are done automatically…so you provide apple with an icon that is totally square!
Hope this helps..Cheers.
