We do and for now we'll be focusing on implementing rudimentary support for stuff everyone needs. To compete with Azure's Table/Blob storage I think a combination of S3 and SimpleDB (or an rdbms) would be the best option... Obviously we would like to make it as easy for people to get started with this as possible, so we'll probably end up wrapping it in some way convenient to our users - for now people should feel free to use these services directly from amazon.
The ability to instantly scale up/down is a feature at the core of our business and it will be available no later than our official launch.
Providing various caching options is also ranked highly on our feature list and will be available as an add-on (and paid) service.
