I knew this kind of thing would happen *someday*, but this soon?  I'm kinda shocked.  Although I guess now that you can buy a 16GB compact flash or SD card for $125 to $200 (check out NewEgg), how far can we really be from laptops enabled with these things.  I mean, there are a lot of people out there that just don't need 100GB on their laptop ... especially when they have an additional 4-8GB in their Sansa Connect for their music.

Thoughts?  Would you buy a laptop that had only 16GB of disk space, but was *blazing fast* (flash memory is way faster than the best hard drive) and ultra tiny?  And keep in mind that flash memory won't stay *tiny* (in size) by comparizon.  Back in January, SanDisk announced 128GB flash drives, and check out this article on "the future of flash memory" - the 1 TB (yes, you heard me) flash drive.  And even this was end of last year.

It's only a matter of time, I guess.
