Great! Glad to see it resolved to something useful, there are lots of these sexy new backends popping up, and (as far as I can tell) a lot of them are built on top of things like amazon's services, etc.., Heroku and Parse seem to be getting really good rep in the app world. I personally haven't used GAE as much as other people here have (only played around with it, and thought about problems that might arise with it), but I know that's an option that's (nominally) geared toward being easily integrated into apps as well, which is the only reason I mention it, kris -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
