I thought you meant 1TB. We probably won't be seeing those for another 2 years. Maybe sooner; it is pretty incredible how quickly solid state memory has been expanding.

I consider the jump from 32GB - 64GB cards a pretty significant jump by itself as it begins to break into the bottom end of hard drive storage capacities. 128GB to 256GB and you now have a convenient means of backing up systems, file libraries, etc. in addition to being able to transfer working libraries of files for content producers.

The only thing that hasn't changed (and won't, even with the new card specs) is transfer, read and write rates. From what the Sony site said, max rate is something like 480Mbits/s compared to the current 3.0Gbits/s for HDD. In this respect, SSD is still the successor to the HDD.
