So the SSD in the new MBA is not soldered to the board?
And is user replaceable - though I'm guessing invalidating the warranty?

I cannot be held responsible for the things that come out of my mouth.

Seems interesting. I was reading up on Apple's flash memory and apparently it's not as fast as some of the higher end SSD out now such as the OCZ Vertex 2 and OWC Mercury Extreme (272MB/s).

The ones offered by Photofast is faster than the one that Apple is currently using and I don't think they like that.

If I read the MacBook Air Tech Specs right, the FSB is only 800MHz.
