Hmm... it says data size is limited to 10GB during beta, and "Amazon SimpleDB is designed to store relatively small amounts of data and is optimized for fast data access and flexibility in how that data is expressed."
Still, something to keep an eye on. It was Amazon's EC2 service that got me thinking about scalable third party database providers.
