More details about Google apps

* Applications can be served from the free appspot.com domain or from an external domain via Google Apps
* Python is the only language supported right now -- Google says they look forward to supporting other languages in the future, but for right now -- Python is where it is at
* Google's service API is built into App Engine -- so Google Accounts can be easily integrated into an application
* During the developer preview users are able to register up to 3 applications
* The SDK is available for Mac, Windows and Linux

From our perspective, this news is exciting -- if not for what it offers right now -- but for the potential in the future. Only initially supporting Python is a curious choice (though we are big fans of Django), but the ability for developers to execute scalable apps using Google's resources -- for free -- is extremely exciting.
