Ooh, do you mean the Xamarin licence? I just discovered that there is a 20%
discount for MSDN subscribers, which brings the business price down to
$800/year. I personally think this is still a hell of a lot, especially
when I'm in the position that I've only been asked to create a
proof-of-concept that our Silverlight app can be replicated on an iPad. I
emailed Xamarin to ask if my (never used) trial period can be reset, but
that only gives me 30 days of panic to learn, configure and create the
demo. I hope that someone from Xamarin reads this hint that the price
is *really
*steep, unless you know you can recoup the cost somehow. I think the
pricing structure is overbalanced to deflect low-frequency users from
considering its use.
