Apple has cut prices on MacBook Air upgrade options (http://store.apple.com/us/browse/home/shop_mac/family/macbook_air). The base price of $1,799 for one with an 80GB HDD and 1.6GHz processor remains the same, but the cost of upgrading to a 1.8GHz processor has come down from $200 to $100.
The bigger price cut comes when buyers purchase the 1.8GHz system with the 64GB solid-state hard drive. It's fallen from $3,098 to $2,598; a $500 difference.
Unfortunately for consumers, Apple's SSD option is still PATA, so resourceful buyers can't make use of the upcoming less-expensive SATA SSD options coming out in coming weeks. *cough*OCZ (http://www.ocztechnology.com/aboutocz/press/2008/294)*cough*
