I agree, things are going to get interesting. Google's release of App Engine is steering other not-so-big-as-Google players into the ball game.

Let's face it, each has its strengths and weaknesses. The mote in Bungee's eye is that its language is new, and a community has not matured around it. Keroku has the Ruby community, and Google has the Python and true believer community (no doubt additional language bindings will appear). There are platforms were you have to configure scaling (EC2, S3) and ones where that is transparent, with less control (Google). There are hosted IDEs (new Eclipse products, bungee, Keroku) and not (Amazon). Things are going to get interesting.
