Google App Engine adds Cron and Java

Google today announced that they will be supporting Java on their GAE cloud computing platform.  I signed up for the beta, but don’t know when/if I’ll be approved.

I also saw that the platform also now includes a cron mechanism to run scheduled “jobs”, see: http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/python/config/cron.html

This could change things.  It will be interesting to see how (if?) Amazon responds.
