Saleforce.com’s web application platform Force.com gets a free edition that’s meant to prime the pump for enterprises considering putting some apps up in the cloud.  There are limits, of course, but at first glace it looks like it provides some fairly robust functionality for organizations that just want to get started and have modest requirements.

Here’s what you get according to the press release:

  —  one custom app
  —  one Web site with up to 250,000 page views per month
  —  up to 10 custom objects (custom database tables) per user
  —  a sandbox development environment to test the app or site before
      deploying it
  —  free online training
  —  a library of sample applications.
