I stand corrected, thanks for the info. Cloudfront doesn't appear to support multi-part uploads however, which I guess is the primary value-add of the newly announced service.

You're welcome. And you're correct. As long as you don't need to upload multi parts in parallel or objects over 5GB, standard upload works fine.
Without multipart upload, you can't resume uploads. Even with moderate sized files that's a bummer.
That gets less important each passing year as connections get faster, even on mobile. I agree you can't restart uploads though without multi part support.
Can you elaborate on why you came to this conclusion? I am able to do multipart uploads via cloudfront to s3.
