Am I the only person praying for a pages update that's compatible with iCloud.

Maybe for iPad 4.
Senseg's technology looks interesting, if you don't mind having "electro-vibration stimulus" running through your fingertips. But simultaneously doubling the screen resolution and adding haptic feedback would seem to limit the punch of both of them - it'd be more effective from an advertising perspective to roll them out iteratively.
Also, screen coating technologies like Senseg's Tixel typically degrade quality. Unless they've perfected it so it doesn't cloud the Retina screen, I don't think Apple would include it in this launch.

Check my post history. I'm sure it was one of the features I listed before the original iPad was even released. I think that is enough thread boasting for one day
I did some small research and found out that it's called "pressure sensitive"
it's the feature on ipad 2 that I think the stylus maker "ten one design" is using
Search YouTube for "pressure sensitive demonstration"
Accelerometer I think is related to this but it's about tilting the ipad left to right and forward to backward just as what the racing apps are using
Doubt this will happen. The technology exists, but I just can't see Apple upgrading to both a retina display and haptic feedback.
I'd love to be wrong though!

power hog
I can only imagine but wouldn't a technology like this consume more battery power? I really doubt Apple would sacrifice battery life for at the moment is a novel idea with few if no apps available to utilize it. My vote is not going to happen this year.

Look at all the comments on this thread and that should answer your question.
You mean this? Probably one of the ugliest phones I've ever seen. Who would want to carry this around in their pocket? And how often would you user the projector? It's times like these I'm glad Steve, Jony et al were just as focused on what to leave out of a product as they wee on what they put in.

It looks like a flashlight
Too bad Samesung will go rip off the idea and release it in a month or two now and beat Apple to the punch then all the android babies will think their god is the all knowing and Apple are the sheep.
not to sound stupid, but didn't someone order a spare ipad 3 screen and put it under a microscope to test for resolution? Can't someone just put the damn thing under a microscope again, break it in half, i don't care what, and see if it has additional parts, features, any signs that would point to a screen with tactile feedback?
As was the kind grudging consensus late in Zweimeter original thread,
https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/1332489/, the chances are very low that this would be in the iPad 3.
It's cool, it would be a serious shock and crazy cool if it did get squeezed in the update. However again between Cameras and a Retina display (plus BT4.0 & LTE possible) the iPad 3/HD is defiantly getting a serious update already.

I'd love to see it but wonder if the tech is mature enough that Apple would risk its iPad franchise on it, especially when the iPad 3 doesn't need a HR right now, just a double. (Sorry for baseball metaphor, but its that time of year. Yea.)
What, like see meaning retina...
Most folks believe the "something to see" bit is in regards to a new Apple TV, not talking about the iPad.
I can't imagine there are more than a couple hundred people in the world that look at that phone and say "ohhhh....I've gotta have that".
A quad core processor, retina display and haptic feedback seem like a little too much for a product upgrade
especially for apple
Haptic feedback has been available in Android phones and other devices forever. Apple playing catch up, copying, and passing it off as innovation once again!

More like. "too bad samsung will likely be the screen manufacturer." Try again
sigh
it wouldn't be the final countdown before an event without a few wild rumors... and then after the announcement there will be people bad mouthing the update with, "what only a HD display? I won't buy it because I am going to wait for the Haptic Display."
but yeah, it's hard not to hope for.
