I under the assumption that you can't squeeze alot of memory out of solid state drives

But memristors are coming. HP has built one. It's nonvolital, so can retain its state when powered off like current flash, but will also be cheaper and faster than flash while offering greater densities(smaller). They hope to introduce them by 2012 and may replace DRAM and hard disks in the 2014-2016 time frame. And, since it can remember the exact current that's passed through it (voltage level), it can work with a dynamic range of data, not just ones and zeros, like in an anolog mode, therefore capable of far more complex computing tasks.
Also, there are organic LEDs. Sony's 9" screen TV, around $2500, is only 1/8" thick. The future looks bright!
