Google Storage for Developers…

I noticed this today and it seems to be a service that will compete with Amazon S3 and Microsoft’s Azure Blob storage.

It’s only open to US developers for now, but I have one burning question: can we transfer directly from Google Storage to another Google service (like YouTube, Docs, etc) without incurring any transfer charges? 

The even bigger question is whether all of the APIs will be updated to include this new service and to better amalgamate the existing app services with this one, since storage is so central to everything, it seems to beg the question.
