Monotouch for Free?
You may have noticed that Novell released a way of creating native iPhone applications with C# and potentially any other .Net language with Monotouch, only to find out that it's $399 for a single developer license. Fear not, last night Novell released a "trial" version of Monotouch which will enable you to develop these apps without the need to pay for a license. Using this trial means that you will not be able to run your application on the device (which is important for testing if you're looking to sell an application), this is similar to the way NimbleKit handle the way users can develop using their framework.
One thing missing from Monotouch and the trial is the ability of releasing free/open source applications without the need of paying an expensive license fee when you're not going to get any revenue from the app so I'm looking forward to see how Novell approach this problem in the future.
