Has anyone noticed that the transfer charges for the United States are actually less than the charges for S3 once you get over 10TB? Other than the added cost of distributing the files to the CDN, wouldn't that make the CDN as cheap or cheaper than S3? Great place to put your most accessed files.

That's kinda the point. Since bits from a CDN travel less distance, Amazon charges less.
