Not building FR2 as a Universal app is a mistake in my opinion. It was understandable with the original game as the iPad didn't exist - but with iCloud, Game Center, the new iPad etc it makes sense to go Universal. It reduces costs and effort.

I am holding off buying FR2 until they launch a Universal version, or iPad specific version.
