We're an open source provider with cloud ambitions! :) Right now DreamHost is sponsoring the open source project ceph, which is a "cloud" file system. It's getting very close to version 1.0 now, and we're actually writing an "s3 emulator" for it, which will also be open source. The idea being you could just take your current app that's using S3 and change the hostname you connect to and voila, start using your own "S3" .. or pay for ours, which will hopefully cost less! It'll also be seamless because it'll import your existing S3 data as long as you provide your keys. That's our first step, but from there we hope to offer an open source simple queue and big table implementation, as well as OS google app engine, with http://appscale.cs.ucsb.edu/ ... Hey!

Open systems, based on OSS is what makes the SaaS model marketable. Cloud computing would be roundly rejected with lock-in based on closed source. The Amazon S3 and Force.com offerings are compelling in several ways, but mission critical applications will avoid them unless they are portable. Private clouds will offer that alternative, driving towards commoditizing the service the companies with infrastructure can provide. Once the box is open, we'll always want to be able to see inside.

Basically getting a GPS for traveling for $50 sounds like a great deal to me if it works even halfway well.

And I'll have to check out the TripIt and flight tracking you mention. Another great app I actually paid for is iCam. Using just your home computer and a web-cam, you can have a quick and dirty home surveillance system. Agree with you 100% on the MLB At Bat app. Absolutely love it.
