Here are the Javadocs regarding this:

http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/java/javadoc/com/google/appengine/api/users/User.html#getNickname()

<http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/java/javadoc/com/google/appengine/api/users/User.html#getNickname()>
"The nickname will be a unique, human readable identifier for this user with
respect to this application. It will be an email address for some users, but
not all."

We don't currently integrate with Google Profiles. You'll probably want to
star this issue:
