If you slap a phone app on a tablet it will look like crap (just try running Android 2.x apps on an Android tablet, and you'll see), even though you took care that it scales up properly (pretty easy with QML) and all that. To make it look like a tablet app, you have to redesign your UI. And naturally you only start to think about tablet UI design once there is a tablet on the horizon, especially if you have deadlines to meet and a very very tight budget.
