I’ve being trying to grasp what exactly makes this an OLTP appliance,

Perhaps it’s 1,000,000 IOPS – a “ridiculous” number. ;)

I wonder if there will be a day when there is a hybrid flash / conventional disk exadata storage cell.

It seems that day has come. ;)

Regarding the comment about what else Oracle has up its sleeve, I take this to be a rhetorical question and that there will be other announcements, a blatant tease if you will. Going back to the OLTP appliance, I wonder if there will be a day when there is a hybrid flash / conventional disk exadata storage cell. I can see a use case in which storing some of a data warehouses mviews on flash might be compelling.
