Apple PowerBooks to Get Internal Flash Drives?

AppleInsider is reporting that Samsung is pushing for Apple computer to include large large flash drives in future Apple laptops. If flash drives do manage to hit the 100 GB mark in the next 2 years, it may provide a way to include hard drives that use almost no power when not in use. That means better battery life (no moving parts to drain the power) and memory that can survive despite the loss of power altogether.

It is a neat idea, though RAM drives have always been a dream and rarely been a reality that can compete with normal hard drives. In two years, the average Hard Drive will be upwards of 300 GB. Will 100 GB flash drives really be able to compete?
