Previews of upcoming versions of MonoTouch are available when you select in MonoDevelop the Alpha channel. Depending on the release cycle, updates on the Alpha channel will only be available if your system contains the proper Apple SDK installed.
For example, the April 15th 2010 preview of MonoTouch required Apple's confidential iPhoneOS 4.0 SDK, so the packages were only installed if you had both selected the Alpha channel in the MonoDevelop Updater and if you also had installed iPhoneOS 4.0
