Wear leveling is actually a fairly mature technology. I'm more concerned with what will happen as people continue pushing these devices out of the consumer space and into the enterprise where stuff like failure modes and reliability matters in a completely different way. If my iPod sucks that's a hassle, but it's a different matter if an SSD hangs an I/O request on my enterprise system.
