They didn't name it "The New iPad", it's just "iPad." Much like the new iMac, when it comes out, will be the "iMac" with no number appended.
It's called iPad, iPad 3rd gen. to be exact
But people will butcher the crap out of the name, the same way people still call the iPhone 4 iPhone 4G

It's just "iPad" and it's "the new one." Get it?
Jobs's plan? Who knows, but it's the same way they've been doing it with laptops, desktops and iPods for decades.

That's because it is the new iPad, not because that is it's name. If someone sends pictures of their new baby and says 'look at my new baby' it doesn't mean that is the child's name.
This is the order confirmation:
Personalized iPad with Wi-Fi + 4G LTE for AT&T 32GB - Black (3rd generation)
Because the last one was called iPad 2
Next year the new iPad will just be iPad 4th generation, and the current iPad will be iPad 3rd generation or iPad 2012
I was just watching the launch and every site.. Gizmodo, mashable, the verge etc were all calling it something different.
There was undoubtedly some confusion at the launch because everyone was expecting some new designation but nobody was expecting "iPad."
