An iPad with Retina Display would be pretty cool, but to be honest, I can't think of how it would significantly change or improve how I use it. The increased resolution is kind of offset by the size of your finger and the size of the tablet. It can't improve the accuracy of your touch without enlarging the screen. So the screen is prettier, but I'm dubious if it's more functional in any meaningful way.
What I would really love is for Apple to come up with either a pressure sensitive screen or a stylus that transmits pressure information via bluetooth. Would be VERY useful for those of us who are aspiring digital artists/hobbyists.
Beyond that, I'm wondering how Apple will improve upon the iPad after they successfully incorporate a retina display. There's really not much that I can think of that isn't fairly minor. Change the aluminum case to a carbon fiber one? Create a lens mount for the camera? I'd imagine that most future improvement would involve 3rd party tech - like 3G-->LTE-->5G(?), the next Wi-Fi/Bluetooth standard, etc - or just upgrades to iOS.
