Don't get distracted by the politics and fighting in the mobile space. Work on what you love and enjoy.

My suggestion: start with native app development for the device that you own and use most. Run through a couple of beginner tutorials and write a few toy apps. This will give you a more solid foundation for making decisions. (I would not recommend using cross platform tool-kits until you understand the trade-offs.)

Then, I recommend that you build one of your ideas for the same device and release it. After releasing it, you can either move on to the next idea or port it for the other platform.

Yeah, I think i'll start off with Android as I do use that the most, but I have an iPhone as well so I can tackle that later.
