spacer ipad multitouch limitations?

A few months back, folk were wondering what ipad touch limits were. On the ipod/iphone, it's a max of 5 simultaneous touches, with wacky behavior if a sixth touch occurs. Now that people are getting their hands on ipad hardware, has anyone confirmed the actual limitations? There was thought that Apple might relax it to allow for as many as 10 touches, but I haven't seen this confirmed.

As far as I can tell, the iPad is still limited to five touches. At least as far as game salad is concerned.

I'm nearly 100% sure that the five touch limit still applies to the iPad.

Hopefully someone will be able to test the limit on real hardware and will be able to answer definitively without guessing. I'd do it myself, but I won't have a development iPad for at least a few more weeks.
