Which flavor of H.264 for iPad with Compressor3?

I have a sequence with 1280x720 24p footage that I would like to compress with H.264 to view on an iPad. I am running FCP6/Compressor3 and I am not finding iPad in the Compressor3 settings within the Apple devices folder. Which setting would best suit my needs?

Thanks,

Mac Pro, Mac OS X (10.5.8)

What specific version of Compressor 3 do you have installed?

In 3.5.3, there is an H.264 for iPad and iPhone 4 preset. Here's a droplet you can download and use:

Thanks Michael,

I have Compressor 3.0.5. Your droplet did not work for me, but I opened it and checked out the settings, which seemed pretty standard. So, I can create my own droplet with the same settings.
