 Hi Hans --

Yes, iPhone/iPad development can be done using MonoTouch as it follows from the books (I have no own experience with MonoTouch) - here is one of the books:  http://www.wrox.com/WileyCDA/WroxTitle/Professional-iPhone-Programming-with-MonoTouch-and-NET-C-.productCd-047063782X.html  . There quite some others if you look at Amazon, e.g.  http://www.amazon.com/Learning-MonoTouch-Hands-Building-Applications/dp/0321719921  ...

And Python is available for Visual Studio as IronPython  -  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IronPython  - it should be good enough to start with when time will allow.

There exists also IronRuby -  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IronRuby  ...

Thank you.

>> Python is on my "long waiting list" - do you use Python in your everyday web development there?

>Not currently, but I did use Python and Django for a bit recently. I quite liked it and the syntactic sugar as great, but you just have to be aware of these things or else it just looks like magic at first.

>I highly recommend you move Python up your waiting list, because it will benefit you in many ways, not the least that Python is cross platform.

>Fair enough. I thought you were posting a 'current state of Windows 8 / Phone 8' (of which I'm sceptical, as you can tell).

>>  the move to Android (using MonoDroid) and iPhone (MonoTouch) promise to be natural as I have read from  some of the tech. books. Of course it would be better to use native Android and iPhone dev. tools but that would be the next step.
