The leaked picture of the announcement isn't landscape, the bezel is too thick BUT I also don't see aluminium, all I see is black plastic so I think it's being used in portrait but upside down because below the hand is the 3G antenna plastic.
It would be hilarious to sit down with Tim Cook or whoever the person is who put the invitation together and dissect it like we have done on here. It would be very interesting.

Intern (voice cracking, hands shaking): Mr. Cook, here's the invitation for the iPad event, ready for your approval.
Cook: Whoa, whoa, whoa, wait a minute here. This is the invite? This?
Intern: Yes, sir.
Cook: "What does this look–Jony, what does this look like to you?
Ive: "Well, Tim, it looks like my product.
Cook: That's right, Jony, it's your product. It's all of your product. It's the whole thing. This invitation shows the entire product. Do you see something wrong with this?
Intern: … well, it's…
Cook: I'm not talking to you yet, intern, I'm still asking Jony.
Ive: I'm not sure that a dry, flat image of my product shows it in its best light. There's no mystery, you know, there's no magic.
Cook: That's right, Jony. You, intern. Take this back. Crop the heck out of it. Crop it down to where you can only vaguely tell that it's an iPad and nothing else. It could be a different iPad for all you know. It might be an iMac, even.
Ive (musing over the image, squinting, one eye closed): You could even crop it so that you can't tell how it's being used… just show a portion of the bezel and a little of the screen.
Cook: Get, look, just make it so we can see this calendar icon here and the two next to it. Make those blurry.

Proof?
the bezel is too thick
How?
BUT I also don't see aluminum, all I see is black plastic
The rim is. You can see the rim. Just like on an iPad 2.
so I think it's being used in portrait but upside down
How does that make ANY sense? And it can't be upside down; you'd see the camera.
because below the hand is the 3G antenna plastic.
No, you see the aluminum rim there. It wouldn't be reflecting light like that if it was the 3G band? upside down?

Ive: Mystery.
Cook: That's right.
Intern: …
Cook: And give it a Dutch angle.

And no, using multi-gestures is not a good answer, because what if those gestures are turned off?
if there was no home button those gestures would be on all the time.
