<PRE>I see your frustration as a user of this system. I have tried the mono
|
|
android version on the emulator too and it had horrible performance.
|
|
Debugging was useless. Everything was crashing and so on.
|
|
|
|
But what you have to get with the evaluation version is not that you can
|
|
test everything, but the overall progress that the mono team have done. This
|
|
is why I purchased a license and now things work much better than on the
|
|
emulator. The API that they have is a thin layer that allows the
|
|
functionality below to be presented to the .NET crowd in a fashion that they
|
|
are used to. So if the accelerometer or the compass or something else works
|
|
on Android then the chance of it not working on Mono is very minimal.
|
|
|
|
On the other hand adding restrictions to the users in order to make money is
|
|
never an easy decision and I am sure that the mono team thought about your
|
|
solution too. Personally if I was on their spot I would not like your idea
|
|
too. 1. It will prevent anything that is supposed to show up on application
|
|
launch to be seen (because of the splash screen they will have to show). 2.
|
|
If they want to show your stuff after the application launch they will have
|
|
to mess with the Android events that start Activities or the Application
|
|
launch itself which will cripple the product as every other hack does.
|
|
|
|
So in a conclusion, I based 40% of my decision on the fact that the .NET API
|
|
looks good and intuitive and they try to keep up to date with all the new
|
|
stuff that come out in the Android world, they add documentation and
|
|
tutorials for Android newbies like me. 20% on reviews on the internet. 40%
|
|
on the fact that I know some of the team members indirectly from IRC around
|
|
the mono project for about 5 years and I know that they can and will make
|
|
this project work in the best way possible.

I don't see how an x86 emulator would make me test apps properly?
|
|
|
|
Phones has abilities, like GPS and gyro, that simply doesn't exist on a
|
|
desktop computer, and you would have to write an emulator for that as well.
|
|
|
|
Most apps these days use these phone specific abilities in their apps, and I
|
|
would think most companies would want to know if these things work properly
|
|
*before* dishing out for developer licenses. And I know for certain that
|
|
most indepedent developers would definetly want to test before opting to
|
|
buy.
|
|
|
|
Why not just add a splash screen or time limit? Or both? (This is built with
|
|
a demo version of Mono for android. Please contact xamarin to know more.)
|
|
|
|
If you want people to start using this product, you should give them a
|
|
chance to try ...properly.
