I'm betting the 64GB SSD found in the base model MacBook Air will find its way into every MacBook Pro.
That makes the most sense to me. The full Final Cut Suite is 32GB + 15GB for the system + 8GB for CS Suite will require 64GB. If they can get a 64GB SSD into the $999 Air, they can get it into the $1199 MBP + $50 250GB storage.
I'm not keen on the hybrid approach using a HDD. I get the need for storage but there's also the idea of never shutting the machine off. You can't really do that with a HDD and feel safe that it won't break in transit. A 2.5" drive bay makes sense for 3rd party SSDs though.
I didn't read all the replies so someone may have mention this already...
In theory, if my Mac OS X OS is sitting on flash storage and my Windows OS is residing on my hard drive is it then possible to switch back and forth between Windows and Mac OS X lightning quick??

You still need to restart if you aren?t using a VM. While it will be 10 to 15s to boot into Mac OS X, it?ll still take about the same 30 to 60 seconds to boot into Windows from a HDD. Then there is the shutdown process.
Apple could make a suspend state that could speed this up, but there is no reason for them to add the HW and SW complexity for this.
