You need to read Apple's licensing regarding the app store. They may take a chunk for an iPad app. If a web app, you're clear. There is no fee to Apple. Xaramin seems well funded and is doing pretty well. The primary people were in talks with Novell to take Mono external before the Atachmate deal, so it wasn't a quick decision for them.

>This will be an add-on to my business application. So it will be used only by my customers. I have this application now on Pocket PC (developed in C#). I would like to port it to iPad. My concert, with regards to Xamarin, that if they fold or their product does not live up to the marketing, I am screwed. Doing it in HTML5 as web application with ASP.NET has less of a risk, IMHO.

>>>If anybody done any work or some research of developing a business application for iPad, I have a question. I have two options (at least I can't think of others now): 1. Using MonoTouch from Xamarin develop a native iOs/mobile application or 2. using HTML5 with ASP.NET creating a web application. Which approach would you recommend? TIA.
