I don't want to pour cold water on your enthusiasm, but the only part that is almost certain to happen is the support for larger batteries (and this requires soldering, see iLiad Battery Hacks: Part 2 -- 35 hours of battery life! A how-to guide.). All the rest might happen, or it might prove impractical given the actual hardware, the need to maintain backward compatibility, and the level of effort required from volunteers.

My advice would be to only buy an iLiad if it is already good enough, with any improvements in the nice to have but not essential category.
