I would like to see some sort of split screen multitasking. I'd like to view a web page or video while typing notes in another app or another browser window.

Secondly, I'd like to see a much improved digitizer to make it easier to draw and take notes. Note taking is not bad now but it is more like writing on a white board than writing on paper with a nice mechanical pencil.
 
This is the feature I would love to have.

White balance settings
Contrast settings
maybe even some Color Control

Not everyone's eyes see the same color or prefer the same settings, some are bothered by higher contrast, some are bothered by lower contrast, some like a bright white screen, some like a warmer screen.

these control are most likely available, just not to the user, they could leave everything the same and on the brightness screen have a toggle for advance controls, and a toggle to return to default settings.

Simple, and would probably clear up 50% of return issues with people wanting different white balance.
 
iPad Air - One feature you wish you could have

-More RAM
-13MP camera or better. The technology is there as seen in the GS4 which is thinner than the iPad Air so they can definitely fit.

Isn't the GS4 camera worse than the iPhone 5s? Because bigger megapixels doesn't equal better photos.

Anyways 8MP because that's the obvious way to go. Think Apple will go with an iPhone 5c camera. More megapixels but better sensors as well. Also they might as well add the iPhone 5c flash.
 
Multi user

An iPhone I consider a personal device but an iPad is (in many cases) a multi user device. I would like the option to create personal accounts. For email it would be great, for applications it would be great too.

I should have said a 13 MP camera with the apple touch on it:)
 
Touch ID for me

To be honest, they could have installed this into every iPad Air/Mini

Talk about trying to 'milk the cow'
 
I want a floppy disk drive.

It seem like apple need to optimize safari to run with 1gb ram as well as all other apps. I don't think it is not possible, older iOS6 ran fine with same ram amount, it must be memory leaks in new safari. I can't get chrome browser crash same way as safari does.
 
True multitasking with a file system. Going from one document to another in pages for school work is incredibly annoying. If I need to copy something from one document and paste it to another it takes about a minute. Good thing I have my rMBP.
 
I voted for more RAM especially with 64bit apps on their way. I also feel that 16GB should have been done away with for the iPad and has the 32GB as the base.

Touch ID would have been nice but I really don't care now that it doesn't have it. Looking in the forums iPhone section it appears quite a few are having issues with it and the couple of seconds it takes to enter my 4 digit code is no big deal.

But I'm not kicking myself over any of this and I'm actually enjoying my new iPad :)
 
iWish the Air was the only tablet I wanted. I keep switching back and forth between the mini.
 
A lot of peeps missing touch ID on iPad but I don't see the point if you're using a Smart Cover. Maybe it will be more relevant once touch ID is expanded to other apps or parts of the OS.

I think Apple still needs to have a 16 GB iPad for entry level purposes. Not everyone downloads a bunch of apps but uses it more casually for email, browsing, etc.

I think the sweet spot would be an extra $50 for increase storage instead of $100 and an extra $100 for cellular instead of $130.

iOS 7 needs improvement but it will come.
 
Support for multiple users or profiles. I use my iPad at work and often show things to clients on it. I'd love to have two "profiles", one work and one personal.
 
Better camera and more RAM. pictures are awful compared to iphone 5. Even ram... 3 tabs in safari and keeps reloading.
