You can use my #defines to help you with these images:

#define isPhone568 ([[UIDevice currentDevice] userInterfaceIdiom] == UIUserInterfaceIdiomPhone && [UIScreen mainScreen].bounds.size.height == 568)
#define iPhone568ImageNamed(image) (isPhone568 ? [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@-568h.%@", [image stringByDeletingPathExtension], [image pathExtension]] : image)
#define iPhone568Image(image) ([UIImage imageNamed:iPhone568ImageNamed(image)])

Just give your images the -568h@2x.png notation, and use iPhone568ImageNamed to get a name for standard name or iPhone 5/new iPod.

Usage example from the comments:

self.view.backgroundColor = [[UIColor alloc] initWithPatternImage:[UIImage imageNamed:iPhone568ImageNamed(@"mainscreen.png")]];
