Excellent. I'm totally avoided* XIB's - I tend to use it to do layout,
then just build everything in code with those co-ords.

* ok, one or 2 places I do, but more 'cos I didn't know what I was
doing 10 months ago!

hehe pity..... being that the Xamarin version _is_ going to happen*,
whats your deployment timeframe? Do you need to support the new iOS 5
stuff _right away_? (assuming there is new iOS5 stuff- but of course
there will be) It's all cost-benefit-risk - if the cost of rewriting
it is more than the cost/risk of leaving it in MT, using 4.0.3 until
the Xamarin one comes out - then why port it?

For me, it would cost me WAY more to rewrite than the risk. So I'm
sticking with it until I have to switch (or buy the Xamarin one)
