Announcing Xamarin 2.0
I have mixed feeling about this. I have a current Mono for Android Profession subscription and use the Visual Studio integration a lot. My subscription is due for renewal next month and if I want to continue to use VS with Xamarin 2.0 then I have to renew at the Business edition level. I paid for my sub out of my own pocket because I liked the technology so much, but $399 for the pro version last year was a stretch and I just can't justify $1k to renew. Xamarin Studio might be superb, but I've been using VS since 1995 and I really don't need to learn another new IDE right now.<p>Any comments from Miguel or anyone from Xamarin?<p>That said, the Indie edition is something that a lot or people were asking for and the price is attractive. The components look good too. I think its going to be a big success.<p>Edit: See Nat Friedman's response below [1]. Existing Pro subscribers are automatically upgraded to Business and can renew at their existing renewal price. This is described in the FAQ [2] which I didn't read far enough down.<p>[1] <a href="http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5250922" rel="nofollow">http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5250922</a><p>[2] <a href="http://xamarin.com/xamarin-2.0-faq" rel="nofollow">http://xamarin.com/xamarin-2.0-faq</a>
