Kitsilano Software are bringing C# to Tizen, in the form of the MonoTizen project. The MonoTizen project aims to replicate the delightful development experience which Xamarin have delivered to mobile developers with Xamarin.iOS and Xamarin.Android, but with a Tizen-flavored twist to the pricing model and host platform focus.

We want MonoTizen to bring the productivity of C# to Tizen, but without the burden of licensing costs which are prohibitive to customers in developing markets. iPhone development is the worst example of this developed-world-oriented pricing model.
