Comment (by acsearles):

 Just a question while you're trying to figure out all of the files that
 need to be created. Since we're already uploading an image at the 300X300
 or 350X350 size couldn't we output a few more files to meet apple-touch-
 icon support? Since we're already here, wouldn't it be easy enough to add
 this now? For web pages that don’t specify a custom touch icon, a
 thumbnail screenshot of the page is used instead. Android has a default
 icon, and some systems fall back to the favicon if it’s available. We
 could even use a set of <link rel="apple-touch-icon" href="apple-touch-
 icon.png"> just like favicon. iOS also supports a no HTML option by
 putting the files in at the root.

 There's a few resolutions that can be accommodated with only one file at
 114X114. That's how apple does it. But it's recommended to create files
 with the following names and sizes.

 apple-touch-icon.png
 apple-touch-icon-precomposed.png
 apple-touch-icon-114x114-precomposed.png
 apple-touch-icon-72x72-precomposed.png
 apple-touch-icon-57x57-precomposed.png

 Here's an article explaining everything (http://mathiasbynens.be/notes
 /touch-icons) It's from a year ago but the information is still current.
 The device testing might not be.
