What we want from the iPad 3 launch
Now that the dust has settled from the iPad 2 launch, we thought it was high time to rack our brains and decide what we’d like to see from its successor.
A Retina Display screen
The pixel density of the iPhone 4’s screen is a wonder to behold – so dense you can barely notice that there are even pixels there. The same can’t be said of the iPad and iPad 2 screens, so why not up the resolution on the next model? If the res is doubled to 2048 x 1536, everything will look sharp enough to slice carrots – it’s just a question of processing power and battery life being balanced. Not to mention cost. Oh, and let's maybe think about 3D...
More storage
Movies and 3D games mean 64GB of space can quickly be filled up, even with selected stuff being stored in the cloud. So why not offer a 128GB option?
Faster/easier syncing
In a similar vein, adding a Thunderbolt connection to the iPad 3 would allow it to sync in the blink of an eye. Alternatively, why not offer cable-free syncing as an option over a fast Wi-Fi connection?
An SD card slot
As well as adding more storage, an SD card slot would make transferring photos and other files over to the iPad 3 a much easier task – but then Apple wouldn’t sell any camera connection kit adapters. We don’t think think this one is very likely.
Stereo speakers
Despite rumours to the contrary, Apple has kept the iPad 2’s built-in speaker monaural. Some Android tablets now have decent stereo speakers, so why not the iPad? Sometimes we don’t want to wear headphones.
Anything else you might want to see? Let us know below.

although wireless syncing and boosted storage would be nice, don't forget it'll be able to stream an unlimited amount of content from a pc or mac. you could have 1000 films to choose from no problem!

Flash? ;)

Flash will NEVER come to iDevices. Jobs has explained why countless times.
But as this is a which list and you can wish for anything, how about:
*A mini projector to watch content on walls
*Infra-red module to control TV/audio systems etc.
*Pop out buttons for gaming (i know this goes against the grain but i miss my xbox controls when playing on mobile devices)
*Some kind of futuristic sub woofer which produced quality sound.
*FM radio
*Digital terrestrial TV receiver
*Kindle type display on the rear for reading books
*Solar panel on the back (can an e-ink display double up as a solar panel - why not this is my dream device!)*10mp+ camera with proper flash
* one of those thingies that charge watches when you walk to replenish the battery when you move the device.
*LED torch (ok this may be better on the iphone)
*Over air syncing
*Cross platform syncing - so you can sync with a mac AND a pc from one device
* improved battery life 24 hours+
*Different screen size options!
and what about:
*Fully water proof to 100m, scratch proof and drop proof (you can but dream...)
*battery overload to warm your hands on a cold winters day...

Agree with fast syncing but why not just make it wireless (sans Android)

They should start looking at making ipad appliances for home. with such lovely tech i would want it to control everything i have. e.g. turn on my t.v. or even start my car.

Arent too early to talk about the iPad3 launching. You really can't predict what will become either after Jobs deceased right?
