That is chump change for any software project I've ever worked on and MSDN doesn't build for Android or iOS. The value prop is that you build one code base across all platforms with UX consistent for that platform so it is 'first class' on that platform. I don't know what the value is I would put on that, but if I was writing mobile apps for money and have a number of developers on staff full-time doing apps, I would think the value is easily equivalent to one or two FTEs. What's the other option? A mac guy(s) in the corner doin mac stuff in objective c + open gl, and android guy in another corner doing android stuff in Java + renderscript + open gl, etc. Little to no common skills. Other alternative is one skill base of people on what is largely one code base.
