Hi Guys, Thanks for all the tips, im certainty going to take them on board when I make my choice.
Im pretty sure im going to go with GWT now. The next step is to choose my server architecture. I really would like to have gone with GAE however I have done some research and read it cant handle files > 1mb in size. As I need to do some image manipulation involving merging several 1mb PNGs into larger ones I think im going to be stuck if I use GAE. So my next question is does GWT play nice with other technologies and if so which do people recommend? I hope I haven't outstayed my welcome on this list!
