Uh...they are talking about Solid State drives with are different from everyday run of the mill flash drives. The SS drives aren't limited in the same way as flash drives.
So many people are in a rush to dump hard drives in favor of solid state. While solid state has some definite advantages, hard drives aren't dead yet. We will have to see solid state jump above 100 GB to see a mass adoption. I know that I personally couldn't fit even my music on just 32 GB. However, I long for the day when the lights don't dim because the hard drives are spinning up.
