Anyone use that service?
Is it only for storage? "It is designed to make web-scale computing easier for developers"

Link?

No, I don't.

Looks like it's only for storage. What else do you want it to be for?

Any other opinions? Was interested in it for backup lots of data from my PC. Say 10gigs?

If you read the info in that link, it says that you pay for what you use, so I would assume that there would be no limit so long as you pay for it.

yeah but from what i saw online, you have to find software to make your uploading and downloading easier. Or make your own application. Hence for developers.

Here is a VERY cool use of S3.

I think I'm going to start testing this for some of my clients to use as off-site backups...much cheaper and simpler than our current solutions.
