Speculation - what does the iPad 3 need

Taken from:

The next version of the iPad is rumored for March or April 2012. eWeek looked at ten features it thought were needed:
1) Siri - the voice activated personal assistant
2) Different screen sizes - more options for more people
3) 3D support - especially good for gamers
4) Glare control - when compared to the Amazon Kindle eReader, the iPad has glare issues for reading books
5) Wireless charging - get away from the plug
6) Longer battery life - it seems like we plug ours in over night
7) Gorilla glass - thinner, more sensitive and brighter
8) Retina display - better for the naked eye
9) Vibration effect - for gamers (and other app developers)
10) Near Field Communication - like Google Wallet

If I were to pick my top three, they would be:
Siri - voice activated personal assistant
Near Field Communicaiton
Gorilla glass

But, I'd also like
- better interfaces - like being able to easily adapt my iPad to a screen projector in a classroom
- more memory - so I can really have documents on the iPad (or ... a great interface to save documents on DropBox or other)
- standard software - Microsoft Office (see previous posts on Windows phone)
