It's not like GMail potential is not already known after all of these years of running it. So, how much do they spend on it and how much does it contribute to the bottom line?
The potential of GAE that nobody is mentioning is that at a comparatively reasonable cost (when compare to say GMail) it keeps GOOG in that business just in case that down the road they want to be in that business. I am certain that even they do not know yet how profitable it could be 5 years down the road until they themselves see what competition does and even what tweaking of their GAE automation ends up producing.
