well.. since it shares the OS with the iphone, and 4.0 is due out this summer. i wouldn't expect any radical changes for next year in the OS.
i don't believe the rumors of a smaller screen. why bother? just get a Touch. larger screen is unlikely too for weight issues and the glass screen. i had read an article a few weeks back that discussed the physical and strength characteristics of the glass screen on the existing ipad. the glass becomes far more fragile as the screen size increases and given that this is a hand-held device it's far more at risk to breakage.
oled, possibly, though it will drive up cost. more storage capacity, that's pretty much a given. lower cost. unlikely, with apple's price point tendencies. forward facing camera, pretty much a no-brainer. i'd think possibly some sort of included stylus. surprisingly a few people have commented to me that they'd rather use a stylus than their finger. a finger and hand obscure the screen easier when using it, and some would rather hold a stylus than constantly point. 3.5g/4g is most likely as well, depending on if the carriers can get their acts together and start rollouts in the US.
anyway. i'm sure people will be arguing about it next year as well..
