There are some incredible deals out there for the older MacBook Air with a 64 GB SSD (solid state drive). I'm very tempted to get one of these so that I can perform a hard drive (HD) transplant. I'd use the SSD in another device (either my Samsung Q1 Ultra or my OQO model 02).
To purchase a 1.8" SSD, I'd have to spend over $1000 (unless I get a RunCore or PhotoFast, in which case I may still spend nearly $500 just for the drive). It really doesn't make sense to go out there and purchase an SSD as an upgrade right now.

The buzz is real. Affordable SSDs may be right around the corner. These SATA drives are being made by Samsung primarily for netbooks and UMPCs. I can see these going into small tablet PCs that would be ideal in hospitals.
Doctors, nurses, and pharmacists working in hospitals should have very easy access to mobile devices. Whether they use tablets of UMPCs, their devices should use SSDs since devices often get dropped. It will be great when someday all mobile devices use FLASH memory instead of spinning hard drives.
Remember the days of monochrome screens?
