SimpleDB appears to be Amazon's Dynamo opened up as a web service. There's good technical information, including a paper, over here: http://allthingsdistributed.com/2007/10/amazons_dynamo.html

ARRGH! Did no one actually read that paper? Its 1MB limit on data size and concentration on HA for writes makes it unsuitable for this purpose, just as it is unsuitable for S3 (a previous rumor purported by the commenters on this site). RTFP, people!
