That's a pretty substantial service to offer for free and it seems you can access it from Javascript too. I wonder if it would violate their terms of service to write an application where each user had their own Simple DB account?

This would be perfectly acceptable, come on in! You would have to ask each new user to create an AWS account (also free) and then enter their credentials (public key and private key). If you are building a browser-based app you need to protect the credentials from prying eyes/code.

    But having web users bring their own database is not the problem that AWS is trying to solve.

There are actually some backup services that leverage S3 and require customers to have their own accounts. It seems to work quite well as a model.
