New iPad is official: 2048x1536 retina display

It's named "the new iPad" and not "iPad 3". My hunch is they did this so they can release an iPad Nano (or iPad Something), rather than an "iPad 3 Nano", which is semi-confusing.

The final slide "There's a lot to look forward to" has a picture of a subtly curved aurora-borealis shot from space. Hint at the much rumored curved-glass iPhone 5? Aurora bumpiness hinting at "textured" glass (http://cnettv.cnet.com/senseg-demos-prototype-touch-feedback...)?

If Apple can create an iDevice which you can feel tactile controls, like a Nintendo 3DS or Sony Vita, they'll eat much of what remains of their market.

Via @ArsInfiniteLoop:

The new iPad display is 2048x1536 pixels. If you do the math, that's over 3.1 million total pixels.

New iPad also has 44% greater color saturation

The iPad 2 used the A5 chip, but we needed even more horsepower, so we've created the A5X chip

In the new iPad, this is a great iSight camera. 5MP backside illuminated sensor, 5 element lens, hybrid IR filter, Apple ISP

iPad camera has auto exposure, auto-focus, auto face detection, auto exposure lock and autofocus lock too.

... and it does still have a home button
