Good for Google upping the limit here. Similarly when I developed a search engine using Google's API I too exceeded the query limit on the first day; however, At a rate of $5/1,000 queries with a daily cap at 10,000 I was forced to redevelop using the Bing API.
Yeah, what's amazing is that they didn't charge us to increase the limit. It's also pretty awesome that their android push notification service has no quota and is free.

Using Google's search results takes a lot of computing power and could be abused by competitors.
Having robust messaging increases the value of Google's Android platform.
I suspect that the limit is to prevent abuse, and as it's early in it's roll out, rather than a mechanism to charge developers.
