|I’m not even going to go into the name of the new ‘New iPad’, but I’m going to give you a roundup of the new accessories that are coming out for it in one very large posting. I could post these individually but that’s just ridiculous I think as there’s too many of them.. So read on to see what’s in store you new iPad owners…

Next up is the ClamCase which features a full QWERTY Bluetooth keyboard built-in
The most significant iPad enhancement is the amazingly brilliant retina display. This technology enables images to appear as though they “pop” off the screen while remaining sharp and crisp at any size. Paired with ClamCase’s 360º hinge, the new iPad can be viewed at any angle desired. Together, these two innovations provide the world’s first laptop-like experience on a true HD display.
ClamCase not only optimizes the iPad’s incredible features, but also adds an unmatched level of efficiency. It does so by offering complete protection, a versatile stand, and a full Bluetooth® QWERTY keyboard into one streamlined package. Now you can touch type and go… in HD. The new iPad and ClamCase seamlessly create the perfect match. It’s clear why PC Mag presented ClamCase with the coveted PC Mag Editors Choice Award and recommends you “take your tablet to the next level!”
Information on the ClamCase® for the new iPad is available at the ClamCase online store at ClamCase.com.

Then we have a some PR form Uniea:
UNIEA U-Suit Folio Premium New iPad Case
From UNIEA’s Classic line, the U-Suit Folio Premium has long since been the company’s most popular case design, having offered versions of this case for MacBooks, iPods, iPhones, and iPads.

UNIEA Rebelution Straightedge + Rebelution Skidboard
The UNIEA Rebeultion Skidboard New iPad folio case puts a minimalist, durable case around the New iPad for stylish protection against a daily routine that moves at break-neck speed. ABS plastic and muted nylon makes lends an understated look, while the rounded, reinforced edges and secure fastener keeps the folio cover securely in place. The folio adds an unmatched level of protection to your iPad’s screen, and doubles as a versatile folding stand so that you can put your iPad in the most ergonomic position for typing, watching videos, and more. And for as tough as the Skidboard is on the outside, a soft, velvet style interior lining won’t ever scratch the iPad. Custom cut-outs give access to the dock, buttons, and camera sensor while providing maximum coverage and protection.

The edgy black design of the Straightedge gives full access to the camera, buttons, and dock, and really shows off the personal style of the user, while still retaining the look and feel of the iPad on the front.

I’m sure there’s more coming, so stay tuned!!
It’s not “New iPad”.. It’s the new “iPad”.
They’re going to drop the numerical iteration from (hopefully) all of their products.
The MacBook Air, Pro, Mac Pro, Mini, and iPod Touch already follow this. It’s the ‘4th gen iPod touch’, or 2011 MacBook Air. So next year’s iPad will simply be the ‘iPad’, but it’ll be the 4th generation (or 2013)
