I'm still somewhat amazed they haven't found a better way to handle updating the store. I understand that there is a marketing aspect to taking it offline, but it should be back online and updated immediately after the event is over.

It was briefly online after the event, but it was hammered with requests, so they've shut it down again. Maybe they're just throttling the traffic so not anyone can get it, or maybe they took it down completely to do some magic to better handle all the traffic.

Apparently it's just "iPad". Not 3, not HD. Maybe people will always call it the iPad 3 or maybe we'll end up calling it the 2012 iPad or the 3rd gen or something.

In one of the videos they mentioned it as the "third generation." Seems like they're just asking for confusion though.

Seems to have worked ok with the iPod ("generation") and their PC line (generally referenced by year of refresh). A bit confusing now when they're doing the transition from "2" to numberless which the first one was but in the long run it will pay off. I suppose they'll just keep calling it "new" to differentiate.
