The new SanDisk pSSD-P2 and SanDisk pSSD-S2 SSDs have capacity and performance for more full-featured netbooks which require a robust operating system."

"Designed as drop-in replacements for hard-disk drives (HDDs), SanDisk’s new second generation module has a SATA interface to meet new netbook design requirements."

Hmm.. great stuff but there is no netbooks with ZIF SATA interface... so these are for OEMs making new netbooks, UMPCs etc ?? Right?..
