We are looking at fixing this.

There will be a free eval that will not require you to buy until you are ready to test/deploy on the device.

Not being able to measure on-device performance and stability during evaluation is a pretty big deal. The simulator is only useful as a smoke test, even when using the native tools.
Actually, that's a very good point. I guess my wish is that one could deploy to a device, but not actually upload to the appstore or sell without a license. Testing on a device is absolutely crucial...
Perhaps a mandatory nag screen at startup for binaries generated with the evaluation edition?
Or perhaps display a page from the Kama Sutra? That ought to keep it out of the App Store. :)
Great news thanks...that is the way to do it!
