I am getting a android phone (Samsung Galaxy S cap.) hopefully, to also toy with it (mono droid) I don't have an issue myself paying the 400 beans if I use it anyway commercially (i.e. generate a comercial product, or even a fee one tied to a commercial project), but to just play with it, learn it, rather not have to drop the 400 at that time. Perhaps at a min. a crippled free version to build non-commercial apps? Crippled by, max size of executable? or a tonne of other ways. Obviously Novell with benifit by maximum use of it in a completely non-commericial way as possible, there by ringing up max. sales when these convert to commercial uses.
