This is not Cool, Google

Google have a lot of open API that looks attractive and useful to me. AppEngine, maps, you name it. But reality check is that it is very dangerous to really on that "free staff" even in a very small applications. You should be EXTRA careful with so call "experimental staff" that have a smallest tolerance threshold. Read about a fate of Infinite SMS that Google effectively shut down in just a couple of days on iPhone AppStore : link

That brings a hard question : should you use Google API or not in anything bigger than a practical joke application? Go figure ...

My verdict : probably , yes, it is a cool gimmick, but do not bet your hole business on it :-)
