That is correct.

I am assuming that with a Scriptures App in development for the iPhone OS and with the new larger screen devices coming out in 60 days that it would be wise for the App in development to be flexible enough to take advantage of multiple screen sizes.

I have heard rumors that the iPhone OS will someday support several different screen sizes for portable and desktop devices. I have seen rumors that Apple has ordered 5", 7", and 22" touch screens for future products. You can not rely on rumors for product development, but there is a 9.7" iPad already announced so a App with multiple font sizes that would scale to different screen sizes would be a smart choice.

I realize that all iPhone App's will already work on the new device but with some optimization they could take better advantage of multiple screen sizes rather than just have larger print on the bigger screen.

What do others think?
