I have not read enough lately but I think they achieved the increase
in capacity not by changing the physical structure but in how it is
written and read.
But yes the SSD is the new wave and I think will become the new standard.
The increase in size will just take time. I think when we start
seeing a 200GB SSD they will be ready for prime time in
laptops. That is unless they figure out a way to really really
compress video and not loose quality.

Yeah, but you have to figure that the more moving parts you've
got would tend to compromise reliability unless the technology
were really improved.
My feeling is that we're not going to see a real improvement in
storage technology until we get rid of the motors, platters, and
read/write heads.
Solid state memory is there, it just isn't big enough yet.
