What is the best compiler to experiment with C++0x features? I have been experimenting with GNU g++ 4.4.

A:
ConceptGCC (wiki) was made for that purpose, if I am not mistaken.

A:
Definitely GCC Trunk. ConceptGCC misses many features GCC trunk has. It is being merged into GCC currently though. It has all these features, including the new auto-typed variables (no new function declaration syntax yet though): http://gcc.gnu.org/projects/cxx0x.html .
There is a GCC branch containing partial lambda support, which also contains other C++0x features. I would recommend you to try that one out too. It's in use on #geordi at irc.freenode.org, you can experiment with it there.

A:
It's probably not the best for C++0x experimentation, but for people who are MSVC oriented, there's a "Community Tech Preview" (CTP) of VS2010 which contains a preview of VC10 that has some parts of C++0x implemented (note that VC10 will not have the full set of C++0x changes implemented even when VC10 is released):
Some details on what's new in the VC10 CTP:
As noted in the above article, "The Visual C++ compiler in the Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 September Community Technology Preview (CTP) contains support for four C++0x language features, namely:"
- lambdas,
- auto,
- static_assert,
- rvalue references
