I think that's also partly why Amazon can't gouge the prices. GMail in most cases is a superior product in every way when you're looking to just dump some files into a location for backup purposes.
It's weird. It might only cost $1/month at Amazon, but free is much more attractive than $1/month.
I would only consider Amazon if my service was really popular and encrypting the files on my end (before sending them to GMail) was costing me more in CPU cycles than just paying Amazon to deal with it.
