Btw, Google already has a BlobStore API which is in beta. Maybe they're releasing it at the conf. If so, not big news. It's the exact same price as Amazon and has a clunkier API (IMHO).
Competition is sorely needed in this space. I hope Google undercuts Amazon pricing. IIRC, Amazon has maintained the 15c per GB-Month pricing for 4+ years. I would have expected them to pass along at least some of the price reductions of bare HDDs.
I'm hoping for something like the $5 for 20 gig they offer for photos. I'll keep dreaming. :)
- TY 16y ago$5/20 GB = 25c/GB - that's more than 15c/GB at Amazon. Are you dreaming about price increases? :-)
- zhyder 16y agoThat's 25c/GB/year compared to 15c/GB/month.
- detst 16y agoIsn't that also with free bandwidth? ~$0.02/GB/month with free transfer. I'm in.
- cmelbye 16y agoIt's an App Engine API, so unless you're running your application on App Engine you're out of luck. Of course, you could write a wrapper around it to make it accessible over a RESTful API, but what's the point now that Google Storage has been announced?
