#2Storage cost is $1/yr/GB which is similar to Amazon's S3 reduced redundancy storage. It is unclear which level of reliability Amazon is promising for the cloud drive. If it is the higher level, it is a good deal.

If you use enough bandwidth it's a good deal even for the reduced redundancy storage. Only having a web interface makes it a lot less simple than Dropbox, though.

#5Wow, Amazon is doing all kinds of great things for Android. First Amazon's Android App store with the awesome Test Drive feature and now this!

Lack of an iOS player is interesting. I don't see a technical reason why Amazon couldn't make one. Ditto with an iOS video player for Amazon Video-on-Demand. Not making either of those (plus the Amazon Appstore & Kindle) makes me think Amazon is working on an Android platform of their own. They have the capabilities for a pretty solid media-ecosystem (music, video, apps, books, etc).

The 30% cut of in app sales has to figure in somewhere as well.
First time in a while I got a warm fuzzy for having an Android device.

#8Why would one not prefer to use http://droptun.es/.
Is it the added meta info about music and other things that Amazon can use since it has a huge collection of music?

#9The 20gb free for purchasing an album makes this a pretty clutch deal.
They don't compete with dropbox's sync functionality, but they sure do on price and the mp3 cloud player!

#10As a non-US there is no way for me to use this.
Just put aside that, is it actually any legal reason for using things like dropbox to upload music purchased and streamed for private uses?
BTW that one album/20GB offers only last until the end of the year, and it only last for a year. After that, you would have the habit of using the service but be reverted to the free plan.
However since all the new purchases on amazon are automatically saved without counting towards the quota, I guess that solves the problem for many android users. Just that I don't listen to many of bands/artists that put their songs on Amazon MP3 may make this offer less appealing.
