they've clearly thrown down the gauntlet on cloud storage/drive Amazon’s New Unlimited Cloud Storage Is Absurdly CheapThe steady march towards cheaper cloud storage has just turned into a sprint. Rather than being merely competitive with leaders like Google Drive, Dropbox, and iCloud, Amazon has decided to undercut their pricing by more than half. In some cases, much, much more. Amazon’s Unlimited Everything plan means that you now can stash all of your digital stuff in your own private Amazon cloud locker for $60 per year. That’s compared to the $100 per year that individual Dropbox users pay for a plan capped at 1TB (there’s also a $15 per month unlimited plan for business accounts), $120 per year for 1TB on Google Drive, and $240 for the same amount on iCloud. Throw in Amazon’s three-month free trial offer—and consider that truly unlimited plans aren’t even an option for individual users on most rival services—and the unprecedented value of Amazon’s Unlimited Everything Plan comes more into focus.

Amazon's MP3s are DRM free as well. They can be played on any device and used without restrictions (well, normal copyright restrictions).

I love the idea that you can put your music up there and listen to it from the web. It's about time!

How about stuffed/zipped files?

$100 Seems they are charging $1/GB if you want something other than the free 5GB. . 5 GB | Free | | | | 20 GB | $20 / year | | | | 50 GB | $50 / year | | | | 100 GB | $100 / year | | | | 200 GB | $200 / year | | | | 500 GB | $500 / year | | | | 1000 GB | $1000 / year | | | |

That's AWESOME! I already pay to store my stuff in the clouds, but I worry that the place may disappear, along with my stuff. Pretty sure that won't happen with Amazon.
