How to start a project with both outputs iPhone & iPad?

Using the Pre Release Xcode 3.2.3 I get this as a Startup Project

What should I chose / do to great a project that can have both iPad and iPhone as a target (not showing the iPhone App on iPad but a real iPad View)?

Thank you.

To avoid problems:

My question does not infringe any agreements that me and Apple are bound to, as my question is regarding those already public Releases.

I just stated that on my Operating System I'm running the Xcode 3.2.3, that is all.

You can choose the Application Type as "Universal" .

Then, if you want to switch to XIB files per device, let's say, the MainView for iPhone is A and the MainView for iPad is B, in your AppDelegate you add this:

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {    

    // The default have the line below, let us comment it
    //MainViewController *aController = [[MainViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"MainView" bundle:nil];

    // Our main controller
    MainViewController *aController = nil;

    // Is this OS 3.2.0+ ?
    #if __IPHONE_OS_VERSION_MAX_ALLOWED >= 30200

    if (UI_USER_INTERFACE_IDIOM() == UIUserInterfaceIdiomPad)
            // It's an iPad, let's set the MainView to our MainView-iPad
        aController = [[MainViewController alloc] 
                              initWithNibName:@"MainView-iPad" bundle:nil];
    else 
            // This is a 3.2.0+ but not an iPad (for future, when iPhone runs with same OS than iPad)
        aController = [[MainViewController alloc] 
                              initWithNibName:@"MainView" bundle:nil];

    #else
        // It's an iPhone (OS < 3.2.0)
        aController = [[MainViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"MainView" bundle:nil];
    #endif

    // Let's continue our default code 
    self.mainViewController = aController;
    [aController release];

    mainViewController.view.frame = [UIScreen mainScreen].applicationFrame;
    [window addSubview:[mainViewController view]];
    [window makeKeyAndVisible];

    return YES;
}
