I couldn't get it to install properly when I tried it long ago. They've changed licensing models fairly recently; you can deploy to the app store for free with a limit on app size (complexity). They also have a 30-day money-back guarantee -- seem to be really reaching out for mind share. Obviously the important question is if it's worth the time to learn the abstraction layer! Edit: I'm sure they'll be swinging by once they are not so busy; check out the livestream of the conference going on right now: http://blog.xamarin.com/live-streaming-xamarin-evolve-2013/ http://blog.xamarin.com/live-streaming-xamarin-evolve-2013/
