No. And I doubt many will go beyond 1920x1200, mostly because of the aspect ratio issues.
The primary reason Apple went to that specific resolution (beyond specmanship) is that it allows for easy/fast scaling of XGA graphics in games.
BTW, Anandtech has a nice Analysis of the New iPad graphics and how they compare to the competition:

Apple continues to invest heavily in the aspects of its devices that users interact with the most frequently. Spending a significant amount of money on the display makes a lot of sense. Kudos to Apple for pushing the industry forward here. The only downside is supply of these greater-than-HD panels is apparently very limited as a result of Apple buying up most of the production from as many as three different panel vendors. It will be a while before we see Android tablets with comparable resolutions, although we will see 1920 x 1200 Android tablets shipping in this half.
