Guido,
Thanks for the comments - I edited the web sites using the terminology
you suggest below.
Thankfully we had already gone through the O'Reilly book with a fine
tooth comb and used the exact terminology you suggest below - I just
had not gone back and cleaned up my web sites.
I have at least one more review of the book before it hits the
printers so I will look closely to see if I have any extra "the's" :)

Thanks for posting all these links! And thanks to all who attended the
App Engine BOF at PyCon!
I only have some silly nits to add, which are just about what to call
the product.
First, please never refer to it as "The Google App Engine." It's the
product's name, so it's just "Google App Engine." (You don't refer to
Python as "the Python" do you? :-)
Next, if you can avoid it, don't use the abbreviation "GAE". If you
want to be brief, say "App Engine".
Finally, I sometimes see people call it "Google Apps Engine." This is
a conflation of "Google Apps" (a totally different Google product!)
and "App Engine."
Finally, if you have a choice, write "App Engine" rather than
"AppEngine."
