Because even though it's being called "the new iPad", the product name is just "iPad". Just like "MacBook", "MacBook Pro", "Mac Pro", "iMac", etc., even though there are many models of them.
It will have a unique service name, probably something like "iPad (Spring 2012)", again just like each unique generation of Apple product.
If this weren't Apple, it would have been called something like "iPad 3 HD 4G LTE", which is exactly what drives ordinary people away. I'm glad Apple went this route, and frankly I hope they do the same thing for the iPhone.

Neither...?
What will make it more likely is when the security and cryptographic subsystems of iOS are approved via various federal standards processes...which Apple could certainly help with. (Hey Apple, what's the latest on this, by the way?)

What were you expecting? ;-) Greater resolution than full HD is a pretty big change, as is the A5X processor required to run it. 4G LTE with a world chipset is a pretty big deal, too, for those who need it. Doing all that while maintaining the same battery life isn't bad...
