One of the games shown at Apple's iPad launch was the excellent - and two million seller - Flight Control.

It was used to highlight the backwards compatibility between iPad and iPhone games.

But the good news is that what developer Firemint calls "an optimised and re-imagined version of Flight Control" will also be coming to iPad.

"Like almost 140,000 other apps on the App Store, Flight Control will work perfectly on iPad without any changes from us, but we want to ensure a delightful experience on iPad that feels just right," explained community manager Alex Peters.

"We started developing Real Racing before the iPhone 3G was announced. Similarly, we're already building our next generation of games for higher definition, more powerful devices than are available today. We like to imagine what the devices of tomorrow will be capable of, and invest in bringing our games to the next generation of hardware.

The iPad announcement and Apple's A4 chip have come at a fantastic time for us. We are working on some incredibly fun and exciting games that will look amazing on iPad and take full advantage of its features, as well as working brilliantly on iPhone and iPod touch."
