Interesting indeed, but did you read the Terms of Service? If I
understand it correctly, it saying something like: "whilst the service
is free now we reserve the right to charge you an undisclosed amount
some time in the future"

Indeed true, but this is quite common among Web 2.0 apps (you wouldn't
expect them to put "this will be free forever!" would you?). Normally,
pure subscription methods are not too successful so there's always a
free variant (e.g. Flickr). More likely, they're hoping somebody like
Yahoo will buy them out.

I've been using Zoho since the spring and have found the service and
support (they're extremely responsive if you ask questions in the
forum) to be very good.

Charges by the aircraft. One gliding club I'm aware of reduces this to
one glider in our winter to keep the many other features active. Not in
beta.

If you don't mind getting your hands dirty you can roll your own quite
easily with http://creator.zoho.com .

Its interesting, but is not portable.

You can only run applications based in their site and there is no
indication of (a) whether it will ever become a package you can install
on your own website or (b) what it runs on.

If you can live within those restrictions then it could be very useful.

Actually it's easy to embed the interfaces you require into your own
website; the system then runs as a hosted service (i.e. hassle-free).
Just follow the instructions provided.
