Ultimately, for how many people are migrating to iPads as full-sale replacements for their laptops, it's not inconceivable that Apple would want to 'fragment' the line a little and offer a wider range of models to choose from to accommodate that reality, even if the difference is somewhat subtle or insignificant on the surface.

As long as they keep the screen sizes the same, I think it would be possible to have a thin iPad along with a thicker "Pro Pad". Then it would only be a matter of some apps reqiering the pro specs in order to run at full capacity. However, I think that Mores law might just make it more practical to stick with just one model. At least until someone comes up with a use case that calls for a Pro Pad.
