SSD’s in computers are ridiculously expenisve now, but it looks like there will be a breakthrough in the near future. SSD prices are dropping, and over the last 5 months alone, they have dropped 75%. These drives are so low, you can get a 1GB SSD for $2.23 and a 4GB SSD for $12.30. These price drops give a lot of hope for cheaper hard drives, but this also means that companies will be putting more storage into their products. For example, Apple could see this as an opportunity to add a size to the iPhone, for people who need more storage than the 16GB iPod touch, and less than an 80GB iPod classic. iPhone definitely is a little wimpy on storage, and a storage boost like 32GB could definitely help Apple meet their 10 million iPhones mark.
