This is enormously impressive. But what cost? The press release claims "low cost", but fails to specify a concrete number.
If this can be produced cheaply, I can imagine newer laptops, especially those with constricting form factors like the Air or other ultrabooks, using just this and skip the entire SATA interface altogether. Perhaps even bundle the storage with the motherboard for better throughput.
