Very very soon! Newegg has a special on a 60gb SSD for about $105. I was
tempted for an OS or scratch disk drive but there are reports that while
the reads are phenomenally fast the writes stall out. So unless you have
a need for really long battery life on a notebook or an app that reads
cached data (TOPO! comes to mind) they aren't ready for prime time yet.

Note: I see that the manufacturer has put up a link to help sort out the
read/write speed issues. I can't get to it.
