Ahhhh interesting, so it doesn't provide you with a generic payment system, but instead provides you with a way to meter content on S3 or the use of an AMI.
That's still an interesting service model, where you charge users on resource consumption rather than on a per item basis. I wonder how well this would work for an image or video processing service or other similar services.
It's been awhile since I checked, but there was also a limitation that meant you could only associate a DevPay ID with an S3-backed AMI, ruling out the more useful EBS-backed AMIs.
