I wonder how expensive it is going to be, Seems to have relatively slow read write speeds compared to the current lineup of SSDs from OCZ, Intel, and the like

90MB/s writes is faster than the X25-M's 70MB/s writes, if we take the Mushkin claimed speeds at face value.

32GB model seems to run ~105 Euros, at least so far.
