* New UI
* Movie purchased stored in cloud now

It feels like they spent 5 minutes talking about their $500 tablet and 30 minutes talking about their $5 iPhoto app.

And STILL no confirmed name for the new iPad 
This positions the new iPad as the defacto standard to beat. Android and Windows tablets have some catching up to do!

Apparently it has no name. They just announced it as "The new iPad". Hmm... so what the hell do we call this thing next year when another "new iPad" is released?  |
