iTunes Search API -- is there a way to get all apps (iPhone, iPad, Mac) for a certain keyword?

This seems counter-intuitive :

I was expecting that http://itunes.apple.com/search?term=Avatar+Cameron&media=software&country=FR&limit=15 would return all apps on iTunes, regardless of the specific platform (iPhone, iPad-only, Mac).

However, it does not seem to be the case.

Is there any other way to retrieve both iPhone and iPad apps than requesting entity=software, then entity=iPadSoftware, and merge the results?

leave off the "entity=software" and you get iPhone results (I know it doesn't seem like you would, it seems like you'd get a mix of all 3)

then do it with "entity=iPadSoftware" and you get the iPad results

I do 2 separate cURLs, and then use the results of both.
