Objective-C and Amazon S3

Great, a new toy ! Amazon launched S3, a storage solution aimed at developers. Interesting new ideas here: a simple bucket / ID mechanism to identify storage, a simple access control mechanism, REST or SOAP APIs... and HTTP or BitTorrent for access. They also provide a bunch of sample code in ruby, php, java, C#... So of course, I started a port of the access code to Objective-C, with the idea of eventually having a simple framework to interact with S3. I'll post here as soon I have something ready.

Comments:
I am really interested in the Amazon S3 thing. If you get it done I can test/debug, etc with you.

I don't know if this is part of your plan, but from a user perspective, it would be neat to have all users see the same user interface for dealing with S3 accounts (ie create account, enter credit card, etc...) If you are not working on this, we could provide this sort of thing.

I'll probably have something ready tomorrow (not 100% feature complete tough). My focus right now is building a small GUI app to browse/update a S3 storage, and then extract a small framework from it and have the small test app as an example. Thanks for your interest!
