> --------------------------------
> 
> The Amazon Simple Queue Service is now available for beta
> testing. The Simple Queue Service offers a reliable, highly
> scalable hosted queue for buffering messages between distributed
> application components.
> 
> You can use the Amazon Simple Queue Service to better manage
> messages between components of your distributed
> applications. SQS allows you to decouple components and make
> them run independently. Any component of a distributed
> application can store any type of data in a reliable queue at
> Amazon.com.  Any other component or application can then later
> retrieve the data using queue semantics.  The queue acts as a
> buffer between the work-producer that is saving the data, and
> the work-consumer that is retrieving the data for processing.
> 
> Registered developers can create any number of queues. Each
> queue can hold up to 4,000 items and each item can be up to
> 4,096 bytes in length.
> 
> The Amazon Simple Queue Service is free at this time. We
> anticipate charging for this service once it is officially
> released. We haven't finalized pricing yet, but we expect to
> make this service available to you at a very reasonable price.
