Thank you, David,
Yes, that Mac-In-Cloud looks like a good option for MonoTouch development..
As for hardware - I'm anyway planning to purchase a new notebook, i7 (ivy Bridge) driven - and Apple MacBook Pro solutions seems to be the best.
Yes, they are pricey but only MacBook Pro ones have up to 7 hours(?) battery support etc. goodies?
Thank you.

There are also options like MacInCloud, if you want to dabble without the
Mac investment.
