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.
