Why do I care to have 2.8 GB of email space? I don't, I keep my email clean. Give me 3.5 GB of space for photos and .3 GB for email.

You don't get enough email then...or don't store enough record of the email. I can burn through a 2.8GB email account in a year if I'm not careful about deleting things that I don't need. Right now mine sits at just over 1 GB...after deleting several photos and screenshots that get sent to me on a regular basis and were taking up 500MB+.

I'm glad that they're rolling out the expanded storage. I really wanted to like Amazon S3. Been using it for storing photos, etc. for a while, but it's more of a headache than it's worth because there are so many hacked solutions for accessing it and none of them are really very elegant. Pricing seems a little steep - $500 a year for 250GB when I can buy a 5 500GB drives for $500 and just mirror things and keep a couple offsite if needed.
