What would be the selling point of the 4th gen iPad next year?

Slimmer and lighter.

I was, optimistically, hoping the new iPad would be slimmer and lighter than my iPad2 (lighter preferably). But, alas, it's supposedly a touch heavier.

The iPad does suffer from a slight lack of portability in some circumstances. I was almost tempted to get the 8.9 new Samsung tab as it's nice and light.

I said something similar in another thread. I feel like there is a market for an iPad "mini," if that ever comes to fruition. It would be the Macbook Air 11" of iPads, so to speak.

The price will be the selling point. $399 base level iPad 4. It'll probably have a new design and bigger screen (10.1).
