Hi there, It's hard to discuss pricing beyond what we've currently announced - as I hope you'll understand. Our marketing site has the latest: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsazure/pricing/.
However it's worth realizing that when tinkering with these types of scale out cloud technologies you won't need a) huge scale and b) to run the service 24/7. For example the cost to run a couple Windows Azure instance for a handful of hours might come to only a few dollars. We definitely recognize that developer adoption is an important factor in our pricing. Hopefully we'll see more announced soon....
