When it is released you will be able to upgrade your iPad to the new version for free!
I would advice caution about that statement. Unless you've seen an announcement I've missed, Apple's not yet said whether OS upgrades would follow the iPhone model where updates are made available at no charge, or whether the iPod touch model of charging for major upgrades will be followed.
I would guess that this will be announced as part of Apple's coverage today.
Read the iPad licensing documentation and it states that the next major upgrade is free.
They say :-
"Apple will provide you any iPad OS software updates that it may release from time to time, up to and including the next major iPad OS software release following the version of iPad OS software that originally shipped from Apple on your iPad, for free.
For example, if your iPad originally shipped with iPad 3.x software, Apple would provide you with any iPad OS software updates it might release up to and including the iPad 4.x software release. Such updates and releases may not necessarily include all of the new software features that Apple releases for newer iPad models."
