Something interesting to note. Apple are basically announcing that the thing has a Retina Display with their wording of the invite. I think that suggests they have something secret in store for us, maybe software or hardware for the iPad 3. Anyway, i can't wait!
Got a tip for us?

The screen looks pretty much like it's around 100 PPI to me...
Oh wait, that's because my monitor is running at 100 PPI.
You have to consider the fact that the display is greatly magnified. The image itself is 100PPI on your screen, but the iPad looks higher.
I for one think the home button is too icon apple to lose. But what if it instead was a multi gesture home button. There was a thread discussing the patent apple had for this many months ago.
Please stop posting this and wasting space on every single thread page.[/QUOTE]
It actually is more crisp. look at a ipad 2, then this photo. Those number don't have jagged edges.
I do like how they use the maps, calendar, and keynote to tell you where, when, and whats up.

"something you really have to see. And touch"..
Funny.. I made that same announcement at a public pool a few weeks back.. People sure got excited about that too.. But.. More in a "kick his ass!" sort of way...

Marketing
I think "Peace" got it right. It's marketing at it's best.
Calendar Wednesday 7 = the date of the event
Keynote app = it will be a keynote presentation
Maps? = usually an indication that the event takes place at 1 Infinite Loop. That's the street address of Apple's headquarters. But we know the event is in San Francisco, so.... not sure about maps.

I changed my mind about it being a mockup, but even still, proportions don't add up.
Yes, you're right, the resolution change could explain everything.
No, but do you really think the wallpaper and dock positions would change drastically from 5.0 to 5.1...? Not from what I've seen so far (I have used 5.1).
They could, but apple tend to just make higher resolution versions that still look like the originals, so bubble placings etc would be the same. They ARE in the same position on my iPad 2 running 5.0.1, just can't seem to get that angle like the photo.
That could also be due to my slightly chubbier fingers than the hand in the photo
Forgot to mention: I see pixels in my photo of my iPad 2. Clear differences in the text too.
nothing to see here folks... Keep it moving.
I'm not happy with iOS so I doubt I'll be cracking out the credit card until I see some significant changes with the OS... are you listening Apple!!?? I need better customization and widgets and better multi-tasking! (seriously)
