[mono-android] [Monodroid] Pricing and Go-Live

[lenniedg at gmail.com]

Ai ai the pricing debate AGAIN... Already had this one with Monotouch. 

you can't get everything for free... Novell works hard on this and like any normal company they need to make money to pay salaries etc at least they aren't so expensive like Microsoft with there dev tools!!

Me too.

If I was getting income from something such as this, then this could be 
a reasonable and necessary investment. I sure would pay $400 if I had at 
least $400 gross from software I developed. Until then at least, I will 
have to go with either Java or C++.
