    This is going to be a bit of an opinion question but my take is that you’re better off sticking with C#. Switching to objective-C is increasing the amount of new information you must learn before you can be productive in your environment.

    Even keeping with C# you’ll still have to …

    • Learn the iPhone API
    • Learn the quirks of developing with the iPhone itself

    There are some downsides to using C# though

    • Most iPhone samples will be in Objective-C. Because you don’t know the language it will be harder to apply them to your problem set
    • There are bound to be little quirks in using static compilation in Mono that you’ll need to get used to.

    My intuition though is these will be minor compared to the cost of learning a new language.

    EDIT

    I wanted to clarify my thoughts on learning a new language. I think learning languages is fun and a necessary part of a programmers life. You should be at least experimenting with a new language once every year. This year I’m toying with F#.

    The only reason I recomended against it for this question was the OP said “the easiest way …”. Learning a new language does require extra time and will take a bit more effort so I qualified it as easier to stick with C#.
