The painful path to SSD adoption in netbooks

netbookBirth is painful. 

This universal truth is proving to be true for the nascent SSD netbook market.

Flash manufacturers have been struggling with losses due to depressed prices for a while now.

Prices are up!  Good news, right?  Not really, as Ars Technica reports. Netbooks are incredibly price sensitive.  At the same time, disk drives remain a popular storage option as netbooks experience feature creep.

Someday this may be a market that brings lots of joy and profits to those involved.  But it will take some strenuous effort and time up front to come to fruition.
