The item is like a demo of what an item could look like, and the user could exchange parts of it to make it their own, so in fact it could help the first time user to make something useful. > Usually it isn't, and in that case I think this is a silly thing to do. > Instead, when the list is empty, show a little box with directions where the > list items would be, instructing the user how to add a new item.

The Add button not being there in portrait mode on iPad is how the default Master-Detail template works. In my app, the user only adds a few items to the list, it is not a high volume data tool. I have seen apps like this that do not even save the input at all, they just print or share their content and make the user start over again on a next run. I don't want to do that, so that is why I chose the Master-Detail template. I could come up with an empty Detail view and if I notice that, I could prompt the user if he/she wants to see what an example item would look like? Or go for the "tap here to make your very first item" solution. I will probably try them both to see what looks nicer. Thanks for your help, I appreciate it.
