Amazon's S3 service charges $15 a MONTH for 100 GB. <br><br>Apple's MobileMe offers just 20 GB for your $99 annual fee and extra space is another $49 to hit 40 GB or $99 for a total of 60 GB. That's $198 for 60 GB versus $15 for a year for the same space at Google. That is some seriously competitive pricing. I wonder how it will effect the field.
