As the cost and power consumption of NAND Flash and DRAM decline, it seems likely that Flash drives and large DRAM memory will become standard on the mobile platform and the amounts will grow as the cost and power consumption decline.

Besides cost (the traditional driver) now power consumption appears becoming a (new) key driver for DRAM - so one could argue (following Hill's logic) low power DRAM is an application follower.
The "beauty" is while shrinking (= lower cost) they consume less power.
Right now everything is focused on low power - but how much battery lifetime does one need?
