An addendum to my suggestion (in case you are thinking about it)

If your app really is that low-volume, just use a service like AWS
SimpleDB with the Android SDK
http://aws.amazon.com/simpledb/#pricing
http://aws.amazon.com/sdkforandroid/

and if you really are in that low-usage tier that would have made the
GDocs suggestion viable, you will fall into the free tier of SimpleDB
and not need to worry about paying any addition fees anyway.

Hope that helps.
