Google Jumps Head First Into Web Services With Google App Engine

What makes it really interesting is the last point from Google:

- Easily integrate with other Google services. It’s unnecessary and inefficient for developers to write components like authentication and e-mail from scratch for each new application. Developers using Google App Engine can make use of built-in components and Google’s broader library of APIs that provide plug-and-play functionality for simple but important features.

One of the biggest things that I'm interested in, is being able to use Google checkout. If they can provide an easy API integrated to their hosting, it's going to be killer.

That's what I heard in conversations with several people. For my application (ezLearnz.com), I'm really interested in using google documents instead of rich text fields, since that solves a whole host of problems (adding images, revision history, sharing editing capabilities, etc). But I think that's a ways off.
