Apparently, App Annie has some early screenshots of the “actual iPad feed for the app store”, showing some of the iPad Apps that will be available for download at launch.
And it appears that the “HD” moniker is not used by all iPad-only games. To distinguish apps as only for iPad, the early iPad app developers are using monikers like: for iPad, Elite, XL, HD, Deluxe, Real, etc.
The leaked screenshots also revealed how early developers are pricing their iPad Edition apps vs their iPhone/iPod Touch counterparts. In most cases, the prices of the iPad-only apps are bumped up from the iPhone pricing, which came as no surprise at all.

This higher pricing scheme is definitely reason for me to watch the product for few more months before jumping on the bandwagon. I want to see what iTouch apps look like on the iPad, first. This adds to the cost of the iPad significantly, if I would require the unique iPad apps.
