Many startups will learn the hard way that they are a feature, not a company.

Jason,

Thanks for the post summarizing the key features. AWS is moving to the next level with this investment because it emphasizes Amazon's commitment to commoditiize AWS and make their services widely usable.

Thanks for the nice analysis as always. Ylastic has been shifting direction in anticipation for a while and differentiating ourselves - first with the iPhone version and the new Android version released yesterday. It is hard for a tiny little start-up to compete with Amazon, but we are trying quite hard :-) The free console will help drive the adoption of AWS and we want to be there with more value added services and offerings on top of what the free console can do.
