Hopefully the chips themselves won't take up too much space so you'll be able to stick something like a 1.8" HDD for other storage purposes.

The only thing that really needs to be on flash anyway is the OS itself and program files. Everything else is too sparsely accessed anyway.

Something like a real hybrid hard-drive would bring prices down a bit until they can make completely flash based HDDs affordable.

Of course, when it gets to the point where we can stream data from some kind of home server (and WiFi is nearly everywhere), then it won't really matter how much HDD space we have anymore! But that's a LONG time away if you live in the US (probably right now in Japan/South Korea though).
