Has anyone had an experience using MonoTouch in general? As a .Net developer I'm very intrigued.
They have an evaluation version now so you can try it.
I've heard very positive things. I haven't used it personally, but my boss had been doing some playing with it. Main barrier for me is the price tag if I find I like it.

The evaluation version is fully functional in the simulator, but you can't get it onto a real device. $399 for the cheapest version. If they halved the price I'd buy it, I'm sure many more would too.
I suppose you have to make the decision if the time you save by working with C# instead of Objectve-C (if there's any at all) is worth $400.
I don't suppose anyone's still following this, but I borrowed a mac, and installed monotouch. It's very impressive indeed. $400 is easy to justify at work, but for free stuff at home not so much.
