this could really open up memory space in keyboards.

It looks promising for storing super massive streaming sample libraries. It will likely be very pricey initially so I wouldn't expect to see it in keyboards for a few years.

It sure would be nice if manufactures thought ahead a bit and at least would design for the ability to upgrade to it if someone so desired!

It's a step closer to the point where memory for storage and RAM merge into one, something the memristor is capable of.
Speaking of which, HP was supposed to introduce memristor memory in 2013 as a replacement for the current NAND, but so far it's been very quiet. It is said to be a lot cheaper, faster, and energy-efficient than the current NAND.

If any technollogy branch is not going to go for the latest technollogy, its the hardware musicall instruments Branch...

Except for the Korg Kronos they all are still using 20th century hardware parts, And Kronos, is only using the very low end hardware that intel offers..

If anything will get a boost from this, it will be software instruments

From Korgs point of view it doesn't make sense to use the latest and greatest technology available. The Kronos is arguably the best workstation available and the technology they are using supports the current feature set and keeps the cost down.

Sure, I want more polophony and more FX power, etc but that will all come in time when (if) the competion catches up. I wonder how many people hit the Kronos limits on a regular basis, probably not as many as we might think. You can always increase polophony using a second Kronos albeit it not a very cost effective way of doing it.
