what about...
other metrics, both of which are near
and dear to most peoples' wallets?

- capacity, in which HDDs have at least a 20:1
advantage. 64 MB is not enough in the days of 160 GB
iPods and 1 TB desktop HDDs.

- $ for the device (not mentioned in the slide, but
mentioned in the article).

- $/MB

Unless SSDs can be in the ballpark with HDDs, they'll
remain a niche item, much like Tablet PCs. Put another way,
the $ premium for SSDs over a comparably sized HDD can't be
more than 100% IMHO, if that.
