If you buy any mp3 album they'll boost you to 20GB for a year.

I wonder if they'll try expanding this like dropbox, with public links and a local upload folder. I know how much we all love dropbox on this forum.
EDIT: looks like there are public links? here's a sample of a dog barking that lasse uploaded a few days ago, see if you can access it: lasse dog

And not that I think Amazon's going to take over the free world by stabbing us all in the back, but do know:
Amazon said:

alright, so it looks like there are very temporary public links available with the service. i sent one to a friend of mine who opened it within a minute and he was able to get the file.
