    - SSL via SNI for $9/month (no Windows XP support, heck--limited Android support)

    - ...or a virtual (not static) IP address for $99/month (!!)

    - CDN via "PageSpeed" at .39/GB outgoing (plus .12/GB)

    - new!!! datacenter in Europe!!!

    I was an early adopter of App Engine who went through Ye Grande AppEngine Datastore Debacles. Months where it didn't work followed by a sudden tripling of the cost that turned App Engine into something that was no longer feasible for my app.

    But this update has me really shaking my head.

    Nit: I wish Google would include an SDK download link in their App Engine release announcements.

    GeoPoint Location Based Search looks very useful... if only it had been there before the great GAE price hike of 2011. I moved to PostGIS on AWS and never looked back.

    Finally, Go SDK for Windows.
