It will be a long time for that to take place. Rotating drives are in the TB sizes now with the largest solid state being 1/10th of that. Most of the SSD vendors are aimed at laptops. That then raises the question...how much space do you actually need? Unless you store alot of 'videos', I would guess that 128G would be easily sufficient. I could see more dual drive systems coming out, and/or the price of SSD dropping to around $150 for a 64G sometime within the next year.
Don't forget that laptop storage capacity is a moving target. Sure, 128GB sounds like enough today. In 4 years it won't be. I do believe SSDs will become relevant in the mainstream market in 2-5 years. But it won't replace disk drives totally at that time.
The Galaxy Tab 10.1, much like its Limited Edition sibling that we reviewed last month, is ever-so-slightly thinner than the iPad 2, a slate that most sane individuals (and competitors, for that matter) would confess is the market leader today.
