I looked into using Google Apps Engine: 1. It's pretty fast! 2. The "free quotas" are pretty big, EXCEPT for the outgoing bandwith (only 1GB/day = 30GB/month) 3. It's pretty simple to set it up. 4. It's very hard to automate versioning of static data - with a CDN, it can pull the latest data from the origin server.
I will try out simplecdn, and let you guys know how it works when I launch. Thanks for the suggestions.
