Amazon has announced new pricing for its S3 service. It's long been a complaint that fixed pricing is a pain when you scale really high, and they have introduced a tiered service so that data transfer is cheaper as you transfer more. However they have also introduced a per-request charge, which punishes users serving small files. This is probably a response to "infinite disks" based on S3. It's nice that they've dropped data transfer a little bit, but isn't storage also cheaper since they released S3 a year ago? Anyway, the fall of the dollar is making this much cheaper for me than the new pricing is ;-)
