Spot instances are about $13 - $19/hr, depending on zone. Not available in NorCal, Seoul, Sydney and a couple of other places.

Do you mean on-demand instances? The announcement says "Spot bidding is on the near-term roadmap." And $13 / hour is the on-demand price in US East.

Indeed, doesn't look like it's there yet. Based on that I guess the spot prices will be around $1-3/h - not bad, if you have a workload that can be interrupted.
