Waiting for this technology to trickle down to other vendors that have 
systems with lower subnotebook size profiles, than that of the IBM's.

For work I had a project for setting this up using the second method 
mentioned.  It worked okay.  I suppose I'm just going to have to go 
ahead and get things running.  The issue really is that I want to be 
able to load and more importantly, unload items.  I'm sure this is also 
possible but the problem becomes understanding and knowing all of the 
dependencies required for each loaded or unloaded item so as to keep 
things modular.

I'm currently planning to test and work from either of the following two 
in memory distros:
http://spblinux.sourceforge.net/
http://alcolix.sourceforge.net/
