somebody should confirm this.
maybe it's not a problem for the MBA to use the ipod drive, but it might not be possible for the ipod to use the MBA drive. what do you think?

I think the ultimate plan, and was all along, to sell a low-end MBA with a 128 GB SSD, and a high-end MBA with a 256 GB SSD. I think the pricing indicates such too. I believe a new 256 GB SSD MBA will be a big price bump, but may well include a new Nvidia GPU and 4 GB RAM. I think this is/and always was the plan, and the problem was waiting for the 256 GB SSD in 1.8" 5mm height size to be ready. Once the SSDs are ready, I say we get the new high-end MBA. The problem will be paying for it!!! Pricey for sure... I am guessing $2199 or $2299.

My logic would suggest that the current 2.13 Ghz with 128SSD will become the base model @ 1,599. New end member model should have a slightly faster processor (2.53 Ghz?), 4 Gb RAM, same 128 SSD for the same price as now, i.w. 1,799. 256 Gb SSD offered as an upgrade for, say 200 USD more, 1,999.
