Wow Gruber has a great theory. He thinks that the announced feature of Airplay will appear on the new AppleTV. Answer: ...yeah.

Inter-device compatibility will be complicated by having a new platform. But there will likely be a similarity between the iPad and the Apple TV. The AppleTV will be 1280x720 and the iPad is 1024x768.

At any rate, the touching will be through other IOS devices or possibly after-market controllers. But it's true, in general it won't make so much sense in terms of the binary on your iPad compared to the Apple TV.

The ecosystem is rich, but I'm not sure sure about about universal applications that can go from iPad to iPhone to AppleTV. For games you're going to have a lot of graphics slogging around for each version, and the app's size will suffer. You may also want to charge each separately.
