The other problem is the lack of linux support for their SDK. Seems rather odd, considering Mono's roots.

I suspect that they make the vast majority of their profit on MonoTouch (Mono for Android is great, but Java and C# are similar enough that there is a lower barrier). With that in mind, there isn't much point in focusing on Linux- you can't develop for Mac or iOS on it.

Actually Android and iOS make an equal amount of money for us. This was not true a year ago, when iOS sales were about 65% of our volume, but today it is almost exactly 50-50.

Interesting. I'll admit, my draw to the platform is a 50/50 split between disliking Objective C (/XCode) and the possibility of sharing code between Android and iOS versions of an app. I guess more people are with you for the latter than the former these days.

I have to say it definitely feels like you guys are paying more attention to the MonoDroid things these days. Great work on the recent release BTW~
