It kind of annoys me how small the iPad simulator is... Some apps I have in mind I have difficulty testing because of the small size of the iPad simulator. Is there anyway to make it larger than it currently is?

+2  A: 

The iPad simulator displays iPad pixels in a 1:1 ratio. There is no loss of information. In fact, most screens have a larger dot-pitch than the iPad, so it should actually look bigger on the screen than in real life.

In short, not to my knowledge, and I would be surprised if you could.

You can always zoom the screen in. Usually something like control-scroll but check your mouse or trackpad system preferences. command-option-backslash toggles antialiasing if you need to see magnified pixels when zoomed in.
