I would think so. Maybe even SSD + HD + SuperDrive combo. Anyway, this MBA update was very promising
I find it hard because it is relatively expensive. Apple barely had any option on MBA, regarding that. I think Apple will keep the HDDs on the MBPs.
What I can see, however, is the removal of the ODD. With Mac Store and the OS X installable via Flash Drive (it's on the MBA page), the uses of the ODD will be reduced immensly!! That'd allow space for a dedicated graphics, more battery... possibly an alternative solution to Sandy Bridge on the MBP 13''!

Thats not too bad, I guess I could wait that long, April would be too much though. I'm guessing the next releases of all forms of Mac's including todays release of Air would be made to deal with Lion.
No, because flash is slow.
Then users have to pay for that Flash memory + a proper SSD drive if they want real speed? That will make a MBP very costly.
I hope not. I need at least 500gb's on my mbp at all times, though I don't use it all, I still like knowing it's there. I can't imagine living day to day with only 64gb's
I would say no, there would be to much overlap in the 13" range with three different models (MB, MBP, MBA). I think MB/P will continue to have larger hard drives, SSD, and optical drives just for differentiation.
