[Disclaimer: I have not tried the software, this this is purely my reaction to the concept]
When I heard of Amazon's new S3 storage service I immediately thought of the killer app for it (well, for 'killer' for me :) - storing my GIGs of papers and ebooks (mostly PDFs). I pretty much have this collection on every computer I touch, and that turns out to be a pain, especially keeping them syncronized!
I signed up for S3, but have not done anything with it yet, due to time constraints, but now Amazon sends me the S3 newsletter, and JungleDisk was there. Basically it should make it very simple to store my collection in one secure place - it would not evan need to be syncronized - and access it through Explorer (Windoze), Finder(Mac) or the Linix equivalent-thingy. You can even map the service to a drive with some WebDav software.
Of course some other potential applications are storing all your legal music files, etc. Of course they are encrypted when stored ;)
So far the two people I told are 'positive' they are going to end up using it. I should be getting a commision ;)
