Per Ars Technica:

"The iPad isn't a big iPod touch—an iPod touch is a miniature iPad that restricts the full multitouch experience in exchange for offering greater portability. With the iPad, in contrast, you get multitouch the way it was meant to be done."

So...

iPhone/Touch = miniPad
iPad = maxiPad
