given iOS's long history with iphones, which certainly could have had SD/microSD slots, it's just not something I'll hold my breath on waiting for out of Apple. i'd put the chance of apple including a SD slot built into the ipad at 1% at best. apple offers camera import functionality with their kit solution and they probably see that as good enough.

if you look at macbooks, it took a few years for apple to finally include a SD slot in those models and if you ask me they purposely crippled it to discourage its use. SD cards only slide in about 1/2 way leaving 1/2 the card sticking out. every other laptop i have the SD card slides in fully, allowing you to leave a card in at all times. apple obviously doesn't want you to do that for reasons i can't fathom.
