I could see a 'little brother' version to the M9, sort of like the M2 to the 
M3:
higher ISO, 10-12 MP pixel count, and a sensor optimized for B&W.
I'd be on it like a duck on a june bug.

But then again, maybe there'll be an X2 with a dedicated 28mm equivalent.

I can think of at least the following that would be included in a future M10:

- better high ISO performance (whether or not at the cost of reducing pixel 
count must depend on the state of sensor technology in a couple of years)
- a flip-out LCD with Live View
- video capability
- geo tagging and other snazzy features found on modern cameras
- wifi or bluetooth or 3G/4G capability

Not all of these are important to me personally (the first two are), but I 
can imagine that they are for the market.
