I develop Facebook applications, I would really like to use AppEngine for future but I think billing should be more feasible.
I have 4 million users, If I decide to email users every day, for an abridged summary, It would cost me 200$'s and I could only email 2 million users. According to my calculations If I use AppEngine the cost will be very very close to the income itself. In my opinion emails should be $0.00001 instead of $0.0001 . As for the other rates, they are high too, but nearly feasible high, they could be %50 of what they are now. You could say why Google would lower its income to %50 of what it is now, but I think if they do they could attract more and more users to AppEngine. Instead of CDN or Fileservers people could start using AppEngine, or AppEngine based services. In my opinion server/cloud costs should be at %10 of the income, maybe between %10 and %30, %30 being extreme considering a move in economy can make you lose money. But like I said at current configuration of AppEngine I don't think its feasible to use AppEngine for an Ad income'd application.
