Hey, it's what I've heard. My own experiences with MS's GUI tools were that they (and all third-party offerings) at the time (Visual Studio a few years back) sucked pretty bad. I mean even compared to Apple's tools from a couple of years before that.

I suppose right now the whole subject for mobile is kind of moot. If you want any chance at making any type of money (and that's not guaranteed), you develop for the iPhone/iPod. If you want decent income on another platform you have to make something for a vertical market and then hope to get a big corporate contract. There's pretty much no point to retail for an indy developer on any other platform at the moment.
