Amazon simpleDB

Amazon announced a new web service, simpleDB; a way to access a s3 database. Cost is close to the other services.

14 cents per an hour. Bandwidth charges are the same as the other services, data storage is 1.50 per a Gigabyte-month. While that is a lot higher than S3 storage, the per-hour charge is based on time used by queries, not instances. At least, that's how I understand it right now. This will take some playing....
