Create text content based iPhone/iPad app

I have basic knowledge of iPhone app development and want to create an app which would have lots of text content (kind of like tutorial). I plan to use table-view for the same (list and detail views). Now my question is to optimize the app for both iPhone/iPad screens, how do I do that ? More text should be displayed on iPad screen Vs less text on iPhone screen.. I am not sure if that would be automatically taken care of. I am aware of 2x mode on iPad, but I do not want scaling. Any example of similar app would be really great.

Also, for the app submission, what are the current version requirements? (sdk, xcode, etc)

Michel is right. And to use a webview you could use the below code,

UIWebView *webView = [[UIWebView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 480)];
[webView setDelegate:self];

[webView loadRequest:[NSURLRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPath:[[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"yourHTMLFileName" ofType:@"html"]isDirectory:NO]]];

[self.view addSubview:webView];

To know more about UIWebView you could have a look at the documentation. http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/uikit/reference/UIWebView_Class/Reference/Reference.html

Why not have all your text content be HTML (i.e. web pages) and then each click on a section or chapter entry in your table would open up a web view that points to that HTML-formatted text page?

That would take care of your scaling and resizing issues.
