MonoTouch Preview
MonoTouch is now feature complete and the developers are looking for testers for a closed preview. MonoTouch is a static compiler for C# and other static CIL languages that allows developers to use C# for developing iPhone applications while taking advantage of Apple’s native APIs for developing iPhone applications.

I switched from building the interface in Glade to MonoDevelop’s Stetic UI builder. This made development much easier and I [...]
