The JetDrive Lite Series of expansion cards are available now with prices starting at $49 for the 64 GB version and $99 for the 128 GB capacity card.

With their substantial amount of storage space, Transcend's JetDrive Lite expansion cards provide plenty of space to backup, store, and carry personal documents, photos, movies, and music.The company offers separate products for the different MacBook models due to design differences between the machines. While the 13-inch MacBook Air and the 15-inch Retina MacBook Pro can be upgraded to 64 GB and 128 GB capacities, the 13-inch Retina MacBook Pro is limited to 64 GB.

When inserted into the card slot of a compatible MacBook Pro with Retina display or MacBook Air, the low-profile JetDrive Lite will not stick out like an SD card and can be left in place for on-the-go storage.

ok, and how do we pull it out without using magical powers?
Hello Pegamush,
Our JetDrive Lite expansion cards are designed to be removable by hand without any tools.

Nice! That could make a big difference. Now all we need is for Apple to support splitting the iTunes library across devices. That is audio(music) on one device video on another.

Need this for iDevices too (and need Apple to build in the sim-card-like slot for this).

Now what we need is iTunes etc. modified so that part of a library can be stored on an external card, or possibly two, and that the software stays well-behaved if that card isn't present. Also great for cheap portable Time Machine backup device.

As long as you're willing to manage your library yourself, you can already do this. Just uncheck the options that has iTunes copy files and organize the library and you can use whatever storage structure you like.
What would be nice is for iTunes to not freak out if files can't be accessed temporarily, instead of throwing up the exclamation points everywhere and forcing some tedious manual refreshing when it's reconnected.

I can't see Transcend introducing something like this if they thought there was a major overhaul to the Air's form. Too bad, I was hoping for a reduced-bezel update...
FWIW
