Jozef, in order to get pricing down to $1/MB, flash makers are currently moving from 0.35u down to 0.25u. There's little talk of 0.18u and smaller in the foreseeable future so it may take quite a while before your $0.20-$0.40 price point is met.

In the meantime, IBM is selling a 340MB, 1", 20 gram MicroDrive for ~$1/MB and promising price reductions in the future. For high-capacity storage it's hard to beat motors and magnetism.
