Why are you waiting for apple to ship it? Just go to a store, buy one, and install it to your laptop. It's not exactly hard, even if you are not a hw geek.

Replacing the HDD in a pre-unibody MBP isn't exactly easy, either. You have to take off the whole top case just to get at the drive. That one action voids the warranty, and if you don't do it properly, you can bend the case or damage components or connections.

$900(or so) vs. $300 I paid apple for theirs, which still gives me a significant benefit compared to a non ssd.
