GAE vs S3 for storing images/pictures

My webservice is running on GAE, and I am plan to provide feature to allow users to upload their pictures to share with others. To naturally GAE is my first resort for storing the pictures. But at the same time, I heard a lot good things about S3. I wonder if there is a comparison between the two in terms of storing images/pictures, cost, performance etc. Has anyone done that before?

You could also look into Google Storage for Developers, which is more of a direct competitor to Amazon's S3 than GAE is.
