Amazon's CloudDrive and CloudPlayer

Amazon continues to be an innovator in the cloud computing universe. This spring Amazon recently announced and released their CloudDrive and CloudPlayer services. Being an Amazon customer, I decided to give it shot this past week and uploaded a few personal MP3s to the CloudDrive and then used the CloudPlayer to listen to my MP3 files using CloudPlayer for the Web and the CloudPlayer for Android. Bottom line, this is as simple as it gets and works.

I also tested the CloudDrive and CloudPlayer on Windows, Mac, ChromeOS machines and using Chrome web browser and it all works in a consistent cloud-like manner. This is a step in the right direction for the future cloud-based, online everything world. As a side note, the streaming CloudPlayer for Android works nicely also. I was quite surprised at the Android App.
