Announcing Micro Instances for Amazon EC2
Now that there are very small instances with 64-bit support, these can form the basis of the ultimate incrementally scalable MongoDB cluster.

My thought also, but be a little careful: you really want enough memory on mongod servers to keep the indices in memory.

It's my understanding that the indices would be sharded as well, so wouldn't you be able to just fire up more instances if the indices started to approach some kind of 80% figure?

I think you are right, but I have never had to use sharding with MongoDB (yet)
