As Tim kindly pointed out, iPad wallpaper needs to be 1024px square — sadly, this means no "With text" version of the wallpaper for iPad users... at least, not without the text being on its side in one orientation.
I'll probably play with adding a version with text once I have my iPad (tomorrow night).
"sadly, this means no "With text" version of the wallpaper for iPad users... at least, not without the text being on its side in one orientation."
Not so. The wallpaper still rotates, it just needs the larger dimension squared to prevent unbecoming resizing. The smaller dimension squared is your safe area.
@Shaun: oh, wait. I completely mis-imagined (I can say that, right?) how it would work — so the center portion maintains the same orientation (meaning, up is always up) as the iPad rotates?
@Alan: yep, I just misinterpreted it when I imagined how the iPad would rotate its display (as the iPhone doesn't do that, and I don't have my iPad yet...)

Nice work Dan. Let us know if the @media rules targetting iPad that you mentioned in the workshop ring true too.

So is this what Tim meant when he said "with the focus on the middle 768x768 area" ?

1024x1024 (With text)

Thanks to Tim and Shaun (and my new iPad) for helping figure out exactly how the 1024px-square wallpaper would handle the screen rotation.
Now you can have one with text on your lock screen, and without text for your wallpaper. Booyah.
