With the release of iOS4, Apple officially delivered the ability to change the wallpaper on your iPhone or iPod. While this is a cool feature for the iPhone, where wallpapers really shine is on the iPad, with its glossy, 9.7-inch, LED-backlit display that has enjoyed customizable homescreen wallpapers since its launch.

We’ve rounded up 10 of the best iPad wallpapers around, offering you a gallery of Apple-themed gorgeousness that along with the iPad decals we recently brought you, will help you customize your iPad — front and back — and make it unique to you.

And remember kids, for an iPad wallpaper to work as both landscape and portrait modes, it needs to be sized to 1024 by 1024 pixels. Enjoy!

1. Colorful Pixels

Here, the colorful Apple logo is pixelated against a black background, making the colors really pop.

2. “Come See Our Latest Creation”

Fan boys and girls will recognize the paint splats as the illustration featured on the media invite for the launch of the Apple iPad back in January.

3. Sidewalk

Like a chalk stencil on the sidewalk, the texture on this wallpaper will look really cool on your iPad.

4. Industrial Logo

Give your iPad an industrial look with this cool grill take on the Apple logo that brings to mind the Mac Pro computer.

5. Retro

Here is another fun design featuring the retro rainbow Apple logo.

6. NYC Apple Store

This shot beautifully captures the glass dome of Apple’s flagship New York store in black and white.

7. Wooden Wallpaper

Give your iPad a retro-chic look of wood veneer with this simple but effective effort.

8. iPhone-Inspired

Early adopters will instantly recognize this design that emulates the original iPhone’s Nemo-themed background.

9. Dripping Colors

With a nod to the iPod nano’s advertisements featuring dripping colors, this is as much a work of art as it is a wallpaper.

10. Spinning Beachball

Ending the gallery on a light note, from the guys over at Gizmodo this spinning beachball screen is meant to be used to prank a buddy into thinking their iPad has gone into the mode where you start yelling, “WTF? But Macs don’t crash!”
