The price of NAND sucks.
You know, I actually think cheaper NAND is going to be destructive. I'm sure companies like Intel can always charge more, but the margins will get so low [for everyone else] that people are just going to be making junk just to survive. Maybe not this year or next, but someday... but sooner than you'd hope. When the price gets much lower/GB, they're gonna become commodities. So be careful what you wish for. By the time they're dirt-cheap as you'd like, you're not gonna want one anymore.
