Embarcadero released a powerful starter edition of their Delphi and C++ Builder development IDE tools.
They started testing the field with a time limited offer and now finally changed their mind and will offer these free editions with no time limitation.

The higher (but not free) editions enable you to also develop for Windows, Mac, Android, iPhone, iPad and soon for Linux with the same code and the same GUI.
