Chief Executive Tim Cook, presiding over his second major product launch after debuting with 2011′s voice-enabled iPhone 4S, introduced the highly anticipated third iteration of the tablet. But he stumped many in the audience by breaking away from the tradition of calling the third-generation tablet the iPad 3, as some had expected,...
