What are the graphic resolution should be used in ipad game background?

Hello.
In the previous couple of days i watched lots of tutorials and i guess i understood many thing about the rules and behaviors and i want to start experimenting by creating an ipad game.
So at what dimensions i must create my background graphics? Is it 1024x768 or more?
