  1. Great for WP7 migration! by DdJ · · Score: 4, Interesting

    It's really great that there's finally a tool to make life easier for all the developers building Windows Phone 7 apps in C# that want to move their code base to the Android platform!

    Exactly what I thought. So I went and looked - $99 for student (non-commercial use), $399 for basic commercial, through to $3999 for enterprise.

    Crazy. Would love to use it, won't touch it with a barge pole at that price.
