My favorite tool for finding available domains while discovering product/company name ideas is http://wordoid.com - made by a HNer, I think.
Shameless plug: I threw up http://domaingroovy.com/ to keep track of sites like these. Maybe someone else will find it useful.

I think it's a lot more expensive than App Engine though. You quickly get into hundreds of dollars a month range for just a few extra features and two running processes.
