Free (for up to 10 instances), based on node.js, open source SDK (on GitHub),
Azure "Mobile" service is a REST based interface
that could be used from any application that needs simple data store in the cloud...
Data are stored in SQL Azure database, and db schema can be dynamically updated based on JSON data posted to the service.
The online service can have JavaScript based validation and transformation of data, to make sure data received from (mobile and other) Apps are valid.
There are also online user authentication, and "push" notification from server (where client platform provides such service, such as WinRT for Windows 8).
In all, this is a VERY interesting tool from Microsoft Azure team!
