Amazon S3 Reporting

Amazon S3 storage doesn't appear to have a built-in reporting feature for getting resource usage statistics.  Fortunately, there's s3stat.com which seems to do this in a breeze.

The site has a .NET desktop application which automates the (somewhat painstaking) task of setting up a dedicated Amazon IAM user account and enable reporting on the bucket of choice.

Once the 30-day trial is up, the service starts at $10 USD/month.

I'm starting my free trial now to get some real-world analytics out of my Amazon S3 hosting.

If you know of any other services that offer something similar, please leave it in the comments below.

What this means is that no remote -- other than the one that shipped with your device -- will work with your Dell Zino HD!  Scroll down to see my work-around. Since the Dell Zino HD only comes with 4 usb ports, the external sensor may have to be plugged in to the front of the device, which is partic
