Hi Studio! What a great service this appengine seems to be. Just a shame that MySQL is not going to be available for free it seems, so that users will have to stick with Java Persistence APIs and Java Data Objects (JPA and JDO) in order to save their data.
The other thing I was wondering was, if I write an android application to use appengine and my phone has a web browser, what would make me want to deploy the service as a data connection to my android application when I could just deploy a web service that does the same thing? The only difference I see is that the web has a set of UI widgets, and android UI has another but very similar API, but allowing access from a web browser seems more flexible because it means PCs can access it as well. Also, people who use the application I am planning to design will want to associate themselves into groups with each group of people having their own private data space on the web server. How do I cater to the creation of such groups? Do I get them to register a name on my servlet and configure a password for them to share? What strategy should I use? Plus, if my users exceed the quota I will have to charge them. Do I configure in-app billing for this or how do I tackle this issue. The space and bandwith offered seems copious on one hand and on the other hand perhaps not. Thanks for all your suggestions, John Goche P.S. Studio, you mentioned doing much work with databases and the web in some of your past emails, do you prefer managing your own servers or using Google's App Engine? Please share you experience.
