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

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.
