      <![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.readwriteweb.com/images/aws-logo.jpg">Amazon Web Services, the fascinating infrastructure behind many of the web applications you probably use every day, is about to come out from the shadows and meet end users directly.  <a href="http://aws.amazon.com/devpay/">Amazon DevPay</a> entered <a href="http://aws.typepad.com/aws/2008/12/amazon-devpay-graduates-to-general-availability.html">general availability today</a>.  The system handles billing and payment collection for software built on Amazon storage and processing systems, if the developers wish to use it.</p>

<p>In a world of online fraud and flaky customer service, the prospect of having Amazon handle payment collection for apps sounds great to us.<br />

      <![CDATA[<p>Amazon Web Services is actually bigger, bandwidth wise, than <a href="http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/amazon_web_services_bigger_than_amazon.php">the rest of Amazon's web properties all combined</a>.  The data arm is now branching out into making <a href="http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/amazon_web_services_seeks_publ.php">public data available for mashups</a>, something we've been excited to <a href="http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/paidcontent_bought_by_the_guar.php">see the UK Guardian do as well</a>.</p>

<p>A number of companies have been beta testing Amazon DevPay, from <a href="http://www.informationweek.com/news/services/hosted_apps/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=212002221&cid=RSSfeed_IWK_Services">cloud monitoring service Hyperic</a> to <a href="http://www.smugmug.com/price/smugvault.mg">photo sales app SmugMug</a>.</p>

<p>DevPay charges 30 cents per transaction plus %3 of costs to customers beyond the cost of the Amazon Web Services charged to developers.</p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>If I were a software seller, I'd use <a href="http://shareit.com/" rel="nofollow">http://shareit.com/</a> - I recently came across with it while buying a component for our services; it's a simple yet very powerful, very useful idea. </p>]]>
