Buy licenses for MonoTouch and MonoDroid together - xamarin.ios

Is it possible to get both the MonoTouch and MonoDroid licenses in sort of a package deal?

MonoDroid is still in very early beta. No licensing or pricing details have been announced.

As of Apr 16th 2011 the website says that having a monotouch license gives you 50% off monodroid 1.0

Service Stack Licensing

I just noticed this commit: 6dbc2fae4dac29c891a67d09aa36ea7426a48051
https://github.com/ServiceStack/ServiceStack.Text/commit/6dbc2fae4dac29c891a67d09aa36ea7426a48051
What implications will this have on people currently using ServiceStack for free?
If the ServiceStack project is indeed looking to move to licensed product, when is it likely to happen?
There are several posts on the community page that explain the licensing of v3 and v4 and timelines.
An alpha (oct 14, oct 21) of v4 is already released if you want to take a look at the new bits. A beta is targeting the end of November 2013.

What are the differences between 2011 and 2012 samsung smartTV emulators?

Where can I read about that?
I wrote samsung smartTV application, but there are some errors in 2011 emulator.
Thank you! Sorry for my language.
You can see TV/emulator specifications here. Main differences are:
DOM's level (2 vs. 3)
JavaScript engine (Javascript 1.8 vs. SquirrelFish)
As far as I know web browser's engine was changed too, but I'm not sure if it was between 2011 and 2012. However, Gecko was used other day, now is Webkit.

Entity Framework support in MonoTouch and Mono for Android

Now that the upcoming Mono version includes EF4, are the imminent plans to include it in MonoTouch and Mono for Android?
For Android, the chances that we include it are very high, as Android can run the entire CLR. On iOS the situation is more complicated, as there are various limitations imposed by the iOS kernel that prevent some forms of generics code from running.
Additionally, all of the EF work runs on top of Mono 2.11, while both mobile products are based on a much older codebase, so any upgrade will have to wait until both products are rebased on top of the upcoming Mono 2.12, and that wont happen until December or so.

UIDatePicker september 1978 bug in ios 4.x

Using a date picker in my app it is impossible to select a date in September 1978 other than September 1st.
If you have i.e 8 September 1979 and you change just the year to 1978 the day jumps automatically to 1 and it is impossible to change to any other day (they are all greyed out ).
From other forums other persons report this bug also in the built-in contacts app in the birthday field.
My application is built with XCode 3.2.5 + ios 4.2
The problem seems present only on devices with ios 4.x: I have tried with an iPod with ios 3.1.3 and the same app is working fine.
I have tried compiling and running with XCode 3.2.6 + ios 4.3 but the problem persists.
The iPhone simulator (with ios 4.3) gives the same problem when adding a birthday in the contacts application.
Someone knows about a workaround for this UIDatePicker issue?
Unfortunately on developer-Apple site I cannot find an exhaustive list of fixed bugs / known issues...

I've found that this was a problem related to the TimeZone. So in Italy time zone the bug appears on septemner 1978, in other timezones the bug may appear in other months. This explain why Apple support and other did not find a way to reproduce it.
Luckily in iOS 6.0 this problem disappeared!
So the best workaround now is to compile the code against iOS 6.0 (or above) libraries.

User Experiences for Visual Studio 2008 extensions for SharePoint v1.3 CTP

In January, MS released a CTP of VS Extensions for SharePoint v1.3. Has anyone used these? What have your experiences been?
We used the previous version and did not like how much was hidden/abstracted from the developers. We eventually abandoned the extensions and create our own WSP's with MakeCab.exe.

The install of the website that runs the webservices completely failed and I could never get it to work so I uninstalled it.
Till today I didn't encounter any problems with VSeWSS 1.3. except some issues with the VSeWSS's web service, which were related to a name resolving problem of my PC.
