Novell has announced MonoTouch 1.0, a commercial SDK kit that allows developers to build iPhone apps using Microsoft's .Net Framework instead of the Apple-designated C or Objective-C languages. The SDK leverages Novell's Mono runtime for running Windows apps on non-Windows systems, allowing developers to utilize code and libraries written for .Net and programming languages like C#.

this is very good news and is quite amazing. This opens up quite a few possibilities for iPhone App developers. We can now develop in any Mono/.NET language and compile and testa nd then have it compiles to native code. Also, it make building and sharing re-usable cod emuch easier especially in the Open Source world.
It would be great if they can port the whole thing over emulation to Linux.
I want them to do this for Android also - this should be easier. So instead of runnign in the Dalvic VM we can run natively on the Android and do not have to mess with the NDK!
I do believe they can do soemthing similar with Java and have it compile natively to the iphone platform.
