Either this is turning out to be what people are actually using the iPads for, or Apple is actively steering people towards using iPads. Maybe they don't want to cannibalize the sale of Macs.
It truly amazes me that a company can not only design, manufacture and develop software like this in near 100% secrecy, but that they can also have their website completely updated instantly after the keynote with beautiful graphics and videos. How they do it and keep it so under wraps astounds me.
I completely agree. Their website roll out team kicks ass! They should publish how they manage the 'browser caching' issue, whenever I go to Apple.com after/during keynote, I get the latest page without doing hard refresh.
HDMI video mirroring is going to be big. My sister-in-law is a high school teacher and has been wishing she could hook her iPad up to the projector since the day she got it. Think of all the possibilities...makes so much more sense for a school to spend $500 on an ultralight, ultraportable iPad than spend more on bulky desktops you have to cart around just to play a video or show a web article (citation: my old high…
Ipads are a lot easier to steal/damage than desktops.
It's frustrating to me that apple keeps making their devices thinner. Why not maintain the same size and use the extra room for a larger battery, improved performance, or cooling?
It's clear to me you don't understand the market then. Being the thinnest is a clear differentiator. Having aesthetic style means a LOT to a lot of people (ie, customers). Furthermore, Apple did increase the processor size, memory, and probably battery (considering it has same 10hr life) and also decreased the total volume of the enclosure. Finally, if you've ever used an iPad at length you'd realize it doesn't need…

Simple. They... 1. Take steps that make it easier to identify leakers (like embedding secret numbers into promotional photos so they can tell who leaked them if they get published) and 2. They pursue anyone who dares leak information with the ferocity of a rabid dog. No real mystery here.

If you look at the "TV and Video" section, it explicitly says it supports 1080p video out. But, if you look at the "formats supported" sub-section, it only supports 720p video.
