The most obvious upgrade is an increase in memory. Doubling the memory
size would be a very simple design change and could probably be done
"on the fly" without changing anything else or any software. New ones
after a certain date could just have twice the memory.

Upping the processor speed is not so easy. There is no pin compatible
processor with a faster speed so it would take significant redesign of
the board. Freescale does have the iMX51 series which goes up to 800MHz
which has almost the same capabilities as the existing iMX35 processor,
but not exactly the same. This would definitely be a significant board
redesign and probably some small software changes. That would certainly
have to be a new model. 

At this point there has been no hint that Logiteh is even thinking
about new hardware. We do know that many of the Touch developers have
been reassigned to different tasks within Logitech which makes new
hardware versions somewhat less likely. My impression is that Logitech
wants to milk as much as they possibly can from the existing Touch
before even thinking about any new hardware.
