iPad Theme Design: Image Sizes and Names

With the mad rush of WinterBoard updates last weekend, I imagine a ton of us want to get working on iPad themes and even updating our previous themes to work on the iPad.

Unfortunately there isn’t a lot of documentation out there, other than whats included with the SDK for developers, on what is exactly new to the theme process with the iPad, so I’ve decided to start to collect any knowledge on theme design for the iPad. I don’t have a ton of information to offer at the moment but I’m hoping the community chips in.
