I bought the Business edition with Mac|Android|iOS a couple of days ago.

So far I've found it to be quite powerful. Everything is coded in C#. I'll admit that at first I was thinking "C# Eh! And it exports to iOS/Android Eh! even though you code everything in C# eh?".

It does though. An App I was building in Basic4Android converted to Xamarin works faster than the Basic4Android version.

It was an expensive purchase but I'm feeling quite glad that I did purchase it.

Does Xamarin actually use native widgets or is it like Corona where the "widgets" are just images drawn on the graphics context?

If it's the former does it actually produce Obj-C and Java code like Monkey?
