In my humble opinion, the default alert view size on the iPad is a way too small. I have seen this and still have the same issue as the original poster there

When reassigning the frame property, x-origin, y-origin and height all change as I tell them to, but the width stays the same! I'm trying to make it larger, not smaller, so it wouldn't be a problem of content not fitting in. I am adding a functional image to the alert view and it would make sense to make it bigger and easier to interact with on iPad's bigger screen, but as it is, the image simply overflows outside of the alert box. What gives?
I know I could put together a custom view to accommodate this, but would prefer to keep the generic UIAlertView look and feel.
