The iPhone's small display mandated a single-context approach. The iPad
introduced UISplitViewController.

Most modern software (including, allegedly, Xcode 4) is moving to a
single-window-multiple-view model now that screens are large enough to
accommodate.

The "iPad Cinema Pro" is just waiting for 30-inch touchscreens to become
affordable ;)
