I actually just found this on Apple Support

http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4009

Subscriptions and replenishable In-App Purchase cannot be transferred or synced to another iOS device. Non-replenishable In-App Purchases and auto-renewing subscriptions can be transferred to another iOS device authorized with your iTunes Store account. For example, if you transfer a game from an iPhone to an iPod touch, only the game levels will sync over, the extra ammo and experience points will not be transferred.

Wanted to use the PS Express camara bundle (noise filter) on both iPad & iPhone. But at $4.99 for each device, no way.

Yes. In fact, you can set to automatically download app purchases made on other devices:

Settings > Store > Automatic Downloads > Apps > ON

It also depends on the apps.Most IPhone apps seem to transfer to my Ipad2, but its not going to be HD. Alsoif you buy the HD app on Ipad its not going to give you anything on your IPhone.I have found the best deals to be apps labeled as "Universal app"these apps will give you the low res version for IPhone or IPod touch and alsogive you an HD version for your Ipad. Infinity Blade is a good example of thistype of app.
