Even if Toshiba didn't agree to such a deal, no other manufacturer can buy in the bulk that Apple can, and so all the other manufacturers can't compete on price. Which sucks.

Well, I'm still hoping that Samsung's 64 gig SSDs come down in price -- but I'm worried that by the time memory gets cheap enough, Samsung will have stopped making it in an H300-compatible format...
