Simplicity is something that comes to mind. Rackspace Cloud has relatively few products and simple pricing compared to Amazon's many, many cloud products and confusing interfaces/billing.

I have the low-end (cheapest) 11" MacBook Air with a 64 GB SSD, and it's probably the fastest computer I've ever owned due to the SSD. Boot-up time is 14 seconds, and applications start really fast.

Here's why I don't need to try the app: I've been looking at Color's website, its app description in iTunes and Android, and at various blog posts linked to from HN, and so far not a single person has been able to tell us what the app actua
