I can't help but think their pricing policies will ultimately undermine the platform. People that haven't already started developing on GAE are surely watching this, and probably glad they didn't start. Nobody likes bait and switch.
How will Google encourage a new developers to start working with GAE when platform-neutral providers (AWS, linode) are getting cheaper and better all the time?
