How to provide separate classes for iPhone + iPad in one universal build?

Problem: In my iPhone app code, I'm positioning and animating a lot of views programmatically. For the iPad, I want to provide a completely different user interface, but also programmatically. I don't like to use Xib files. How can I make different views and view controllers and load these depending on if it's an iPad or an iPhone? What's the cleanest way?

In addition, if you are having compilation problems because you are programatically creating classes only available to iOS 3.2 and above you can use code like this:

Class popClass = NSClassFromString(@"UIPopoverController");
if(popClass) {
    id infoPop = [[popClass alloc] initWithContentViewController:popViewController];
    [infoPop presentPopoverFromRect:CGRectMake(20, 70, 10, 10) inView:self.view permittedArrowDirections:4 animated:YES];
}

You just have to specify the device identifier, you can do that by adding the string "~iphone" or "~ipad". So for a view controller this would be; "MyViewController~iphone.m" and for the iPad "MyViewController~ipad.m"
