Any Tweak to iTunes to discern iPad vs. iPhone apps?

I have WAY too many apps. When the iPad is plugged in and selected, under 'apps' I see no way to discern which are iPad vs. iPhone apps. Ideally, I'd like to be able to quickly see/select only iPad apps if I wanted. But they're all jumbled up together.

Is there any tweak that can be done to make this all a bit more elegant? Am I missing something? I was hoping the newer iTunes could section this off but nope. Any ideas?

Hmm... when I'm in grid view (middle option) on iTunes it clearly delineates iPod/iPad apps.

I think he meagain means in the sync window, when you are choosing what app to synch.
there is no way I see.

I haven't noticed a way either (when syncing in iTunes)


What did happen the first time though is that, if there was an iPad version, the App app told me there was an update.

I've kept myZenfolio and Speedtest even though there is no iPad equivalent.

The rest I deleted from the iPad.

Click on the Apps window in iTunes, make a note of which Apps are Universal & which are iPad only Apps, sync your iPad to these Apps once & your done.

Right (except I'm a she). That's unfortunate that there's no good way around this in iTunes
