All flash mem for iMac?

With current flash memory prices, no. Big SSDs still cost a fortune and currently, 512GB is the biggest size. In HDs, that is 3TB. It works in MBA as it has never had lots of storage
 
You can stick a 128gb ssd in it and use a large external storage hdd for it. That's about as best you can do.
 
Still a SSD for the OS and "essential" programs with a platter based drive for storage would be a sweet combination. With Apple leaning more and more towards a instant-on world I would not doubt it will be far behind.

Hell, Gateway does it.

Would it make sense to build an iMac with all flash memory like the new MacBook airs?

Perhaps Apple could include a chunk of high speed flash for the OS. Applications, etc would be installed on a traditional hard drive. This could create an "instant-on" OS.
