Is the price of the g2.2xlarge instance included? I couldn't find that anywhere... that would be another .767 / hour.
They REALLY need a killer app here to demonstrate the use case where this is worth the price. You need an application that has very high computation needs that is being used on a platform with limited computation ability BUT has a solid internet connection (preferably low-latency, if you want it for "twitch" type gaming, but not necessary in all cases). The example in their video is a FPS. I don't think that's a good example, as it is way too expensive for that market.
