There are packaged apps that run in the cloud (Salesforce.com, Workday, Siebel On Demand) and there are platforms for building and running custom apps in the cloud (Amazon Web services, Google App Engine and Force.com).

All of them run remotely, are elastic and are metered some way (by # of users, CPU, storage, bandwidth, page views, etc.)

Each comes at it from a different angle and is optimized for different use cases.
