Unfortunately, the ReadyBoost concept seems to be patented in the US. Don't know if this patent still applies when the SSD is actually faster in every way than the moving platter disk, however. The clever trick of ReadyBoost was realizing that an USB drive could deliver a small file faster than a hard disk's seek time, so you save time even if the disk has a better sustained data rate over time for big reads.
