Vista will need it badly for respectable boot times on laptops, that's why Microsoft has been working with Samsung to make hybrid NAND flash drives. Big Apple day today, a special event, something big will be released, iPod Video and maybe the iPhone - announcement at 10 am PST.... http://tomshardware.co.uk/2006/06/07/pqui_ssd_flash_drive/

The next version of Intel's Centrino platform (Santa Rosa) will have some flash memory in it (not sure how much). The benefits will come in two phases, as costs starts to fall. First, when it's cheap enough to have the whole OS boot from flash memory, there should be some major benefits in start-up time. And then, when the cost falls further, there's the possibility to make a 100% solid state laptop. I/O will be faster, and less prone to losing data due to hard-drive crashes because there's no moving parts. I guess some people will be prepared to pay a premium for laptops with fast I/O and more durability, and silent operation; I don't know how far prices will have before manufacturers try selling NAND flash laptops (Samsung demo'ed one earlier this year with a 32GB hard drive - but it's not a production unit). Maybe not that far... NAND Flash will start being incorporated into laptops next year.

If price drops to about $10 a GB, then you could make a 100 GB drive for a laptop for $1000. A drive with 2GB x 50 arranged in raid 0 could theoretically achive a really fast burst rate when connected to SATA II interface, that'd be nice in a laptop :) Hey Si, why aren’t more companies making NAND flash?
