I'll make this short for me they are

#1. Bluetooth mouse support. So we can navigate around this awesome display maybe even play decent RTS games.
#2. More floating programs or widgets the way Netflix minimizes now and keeps running.

The fact that ios10 seems to offer little in the iPad pro specific dept, does little to spur any excitement with Apple enchanting these tablets this year.

And I was perhaps thinking of getting the iPP 12.9 when it got refreshed. Really less incentive now...a $1100 purchase and Apple dropped the ball.

Yeah I agree this is exactly what I want to see as well. Maybe with iOS 11?

The ability to run Photoshop.
SD card slot, I'm not picky about which one.
SD Card slot wouldn't be good it would look horrible (possibly look better on the larger pro but an adapter does the job fine). Photoshop works best with a mouse but hopefully they add mouse support.

The only thing I need a mouse for on the iPad is Remote Desktop sessions. And I have that with the Citrix X1 mouse which is supported by Citrix and Jump Desktop.

An iPad Pro is a tablet, not a laptop.

Actually photoshop works best with a Wacom tablet (which an iPad Pro 12.9" + Pencil practically is.)

Yes that's right I was referring to its use without the pencil.

I am also pretty disappointed that there was pretty much zero coverage for iPad's during the last keynote. So much for PRO moniker, unless PRO is the acronym for "People Ripped Off".

Apple doesn't really ever use the "Pro" moniker as a "Professional" meaning. It's pretty much always been just a higher spec option with maybe a feature or two extra. Which the iPad Pro is. Apple isn't the only company who does the same.

People Reading tOo much into the name.
 
Yeah just wait til the iPhone Pro launches holding on to May Apple shares for 2017 then cashing out.

Now, I'm not so sure.
