More thorough descriptions of the three secrets:

The first rumor is the possibility of some sort of multitasking, maybe in a dashboard form, on the iPad. Kevin Fox from fury.com figured out that the iPads in the iPad promotion videos are missing six core applications which are Stocks, Weather, Voice Memos, Clock, Calculator, and Compass. As Kevin stated, these are apps that "wouldn't know what to do with 1024 x 768 resolution if you gave it to them. Think about it, why would you need a 10 inch screen to use any of these apps? It is vary possible that Apple will be implementing some sort of a dashboard onto the iPad because of this.

The second rumor is relating flash on the ipad. Most likely, there will be no flash. On the ipad demo video on apple.com, there was originally flash being shown on the new york times page. People figured this out and this caused a lot of buzz, so Apple changed it to have a broken flash symbol. A few days ago, the page showed the flash content correctly, once again. This, once again, caused a lot of buzz, and Apple fixed it, once again. Most likely, someone made a big mistake the second time by putting the old video back up, or there really is flash on the iPad.

The third and last rumor is the best out of the prior two. This is regarding a camera and a front facing camera with video conferencing on the iPad. There has been tons and tons of proof of this. All is coming directly from people searching through the iPad SDK. In no order at all, people found a few lines of coding saying the iPad "supports zoom," "has front camera" and "has flash". None of these lines are in the iphone sdk. 9to5mac.com also found video conference icons, a decline and an accept button, in the sdk. The size of these buttons definitely mean this is not for the iPhone, but possibly for the iPad. Finally, in beta 3 of the sdk that was only available shortly, there was a photos.app application with a screenshot of what it looked like. Mac4ever noted that there was a camera tab on this photos app.
