I think you've mixed up your Flash technologies. SanDisk might have a 128GB SSD drive, but that's likely in a 2.5" HD formfactor. SanDisk *just* released a 16GB microSDHC, the format the used in the G1, and they've announced a 128GB version is in the works for release in 2011, but now that they've sold a 30% of their flash fab capacity back to Toshiba I'm betting that will slip. The iPhone will likely stay at or ahead of the microSDHC curve for another couple of years, if only because they can fit more flash chips onto the iPhone mobo.
