I'm developing android client which is capable of upload system db contacts information (name, phone_number, email).
Could someone suggest the best technology in point of best performance (in client) with about 1000 contacts.
SOAP or REST, XML or JSON.
I would go for a REST service, as it is more lightweight as SOAP. Also, you don't need a stateful service for this. Next to that I would use JSON, for two reason. Almost always smaller than xml, and great Android support for parsers.

is there any free web service which also provide a database?
I am thinking for an application which hits a free web service and fetch and save some data.
Is there any kind of free web services to save my data and retrieve data when ever required from android. I visited Google cloud storage and API, but it doesn't look heavy for integration.
Can any one suggest me some easiest things?
Try :
a Parse
a programmableweb
or
a cloud-endpoints
Try Parse: https://parse.com/. I wrote a tutorial on how to get started with a simple app here: http://www.michaelevans.org/blog/2013/08/14/tutorial-building-an-android-to-do-list-app-using-parse/

I am new to android programming and database. I have very little experience with database. I am trying to make users login from different phones. I think I read that SQLite will not be suitable for this. Basically, I want the user's data to synch with different phones.
I want to know what type of database I could use. Thanks!
You need use a database in the cloud, a server, not in Android.

I want to build a vocabulary app for android and i need word list file which contains words along with their synonyms,antonyms and their use. I just want to know whether is there any source to get such word list, because i am finding it hard to populate my database.
You may want to find a web thesaurus service that offers access to its API such as Big Huge Thesaurus. You can get information from this site to populate a local database for offline usage.

iTunes provides a Lookup Service for gathering metadata as JSON of an app given an app ID.
Is there a similar service for Android? It needn't be a web service or necessarily return JSON, a Java API or similar would also be useful.
Since Android has many stores, there may be many lookup services. If so, as many APIs as needed would be useful.
It seems that there is no tool that exists for Android at the minute.
Maybe this one can help you http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/search/index.html.

I am prototyping an application as a proof of concept which needs a chat feature, but I don't want to implement a full fledged chat. Is there "chat as a service" I can use along with android?
(Yes, I have been spoiled by twilio)
You probably want XMPP or something like it, here is an article that explains how to do it on Android: http://davanum.wordpress.com/2008/12/29/updated-xmpp-client-for-android/
You should probably click on the original article in that link so you can get a better backdrop.
