Writing my first iPad app - ideas

I've been writing iPhone apps since 2009. Since then, the iPad came out. The reason I first started to write iOS apps was that I was curious about how things worked behind the scene. So I created three apps (search "ultimate password manager" on the app store for more details). Now, I'm a bit blasé about my current apps. I'm still working on them to make incremental improvements but I'm looking for ideas for the iPad platform. I don't won't to port my apps on the iPad because the market for password managers is way over crowded and my time is limited. So I have to pick and choose something less crowded and in line with what I think I can achieve.

I'm a big fan of Tumblr. I love their wed site and their iPhone client. I know they love the iPhone and Apple market in general by looking at their http://engineering.tumblr.com/ page, I know for sure they are iPad fans too.
Tumblr is already available on the iPhone but not on the iPad. The idea is that I don't want to create an iPad version of the Tumblr client. There are a few available on the iPad but they really sucks big time. So, this is it. I would like to build a very simple yet beautiful Tumblr client for browsing their content. The kind of thing I would like to achieve is something close to this Dribbble client called Dribbblr. In my next post, I'll explore in more details how I started to look into this matter and what the Tumblr browser for iPad could have in version 1.0.
