Finally! Headway on the solid memory areas. SanDisk has released a 32 gig drive for laptops that uses flash memory. Sadly, its available only to manufactuerers…which means I’m going to have to find a way to get one :P
No prices or manufacturers indicated, but they should come out first half of 2007.
They have no moving parts, solid, are essentially indestructable :P and are faster. Say hello to LIVABLE BOOT TIMES!
They plan to make a 1.8 inch package or 2.5 in. Meaning…I could swap it out with a normal harddrive! Though small…it would probably very useful.

Using one on a laptop is predicted to increase price of the laptop by 600 bucks. Expensive….
Hopefully, they will erode prices in time and increase size, because a good sized flash harddrive…I would get one. Now. Read it here: SanDisk
