I think Apple is simply responding to customer desires, good or bad.
People want laptops that are more rugged and have better battery
life. Currently, the HD is a problem - it is fragile and a power
pig. So replacing it with SSD makes sense.
WRT the life of the device... Remember, these machines use Intel
parts - so they are simply not designed to have a life beyond 3
years or so. For the *average* user that is overstocked with RAM,
paging to the SSD will be minimal. And since those users only do a
trivial amount of photo editing... probably the SSD will be ok, at
least for the life of their AppleCare contract.

Well oh yeah, I'll tell you what you can do with your turning the
thread about the complexities of Apple going to the dark side and
hurting low enders from the real meaning of SD versus HDs and the
NANO cycles etc. Much more important that you poor people concerned
about how you can make money if Apple keeps up their S*it!
SD vs HD is the crux of modern economics don't you GET it you
indigent B77tard!
The discussion of SSD vs HD is legit - it's going to be a BIG part
of Lion's "standard" environment.
Threads drift. Get over it.

for my 2 cents, after using an iPhone and my kids newer Macbook Pro, I
like the finger sweep and find myself sometime reaching to the screen
to enlage items with the finger spread. Of course soon realize
doesn't work with this mac. As for keeping up with the Jones's I have
a 2004 DP G5 1.8 that has reached its system limit, but still does
everything I need it to do. I am debating upgrading to a (used) 2009
Mac Pro to keep up my kids (Daddy! it won't work!) but am willing to
wait while the dust settles from the latest announcements. It was
kinda annoying I could watch the speech on the iPhone, but not on my
Mac...
