on a separate note, how do they do the click and drag smart cover open/shut demo on this page?

In Safari if you right-click on it and select "Inspect Element" and then try the clicking and dragging again you can see that it's just frames from an animation sequence (as JPEGs) displayed either in ascending or descending order as you drag. For example . . .
Here is the final frame, image no. 93:
Here's a middle frame, image no. 46:
And here is the first frame, image no. 0:

Oh, and once that animation sequence is in place then they've added that nice dragging momentum feature where it feels as if the smart cover is falling into place. But that's just an illusion. For example, the closing of the cover seems to have a rule like: if frame >= 49 then animate from here until frame = 93.
