Novell has announced the release of the MonoTouch 1.0, a new solution that should become an ideal alternative for iPhone app developers who have been limited to using C and Objective-C in delivering apps for the iPhone and the iPod Touch. With the new iPhone app solution, the MonoTouch 1.0 allows programmers to make use of the Microsoft.net framework and other .NET programming languages.

As the number of iPhone and iPod Touch owners continue to swell, the same holds true for apps needed for various use. This number could very well balloon further with this new iPhone app solution, broadening the programming languages needed by iPhone programmers to come up with new apps that can possibly be included in Apple’s iTunes store. To date, there are over 50,000 apps available and over a billion downloaded apps thus far.

For individuals only building applications for the Apple Apps Store, MonoTouch Personal Edition is available for $399 per developer for a one-year subscription.
