    self.window = [[[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]] autorelease];
    if ([[UIDevice currentDevice] userInterfaceIdiom] == UIUserInterfaceIdiomPhone) 
    {
        splashView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 480)];
        splashView.image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"Default"];
        [self.window addSubview:splashView];

        [self performSelector:@selector(loadViewIphone) withObject:nil afterDelay:2.0];
    }

    [animation setDelegate:self];   
    [animation setType:kCATransitionFade];
    [animation setDuration:0.5];
