New Amazon EC2 Features - Reserved Instances
So you can now reserve EC2 instances - which brings the cost down to about 6.7cents/hour averaged over a year.

It's a great idea. I wonder if the next step will be to allow more customized instance types at a price premium, provided a reservation is made for 1-3 years. I could certainly use a machine with faster IO for MySQL boxes.

You should check out http://www.appnexus.com/ if you think reserved instances are cool, and from the customer side http://www.appnexus.com/products/privatescale.php looks great too. In general, it looks way more transparent than Amazon.
