Just for reference, a quick search reveals that MS VisualStudio can be purchased "from £502" (UK) and a new Mac mini starts at £499.

  Eclipse and android SDK?

    Of course. The comment was "I don't think that any IDE is so costly if you develop on any other phone". That said, I'd happily pay £500 to not have to use Eclipse, but each to their own.

  Or you use Visual Studio Express C# which is free. Visual Studio (payed) combines all tools, all languages together and works with git, sourcesafe and many, many things more. Or if you're a startup, you can receive all Windows stuff for free ;) (so you don't have to pay)

    That's interesting! How can you get all the visual studio for free if you are a start up?
