Maybe I'm different and strange but I found learning Objective-C and the CocoaTouch/iOS libraries pretty easy.

I think it makes a huge difference getting a formal education and just screwing around/googleing your way. When I tried to teach myself just using Google searches progress was slow and frustrating. But the second I switched to learning via Stanford's online courses in iTunes U, I was able to pick it up after just a few lessons. It really is a pretty simple framework after you get the core concepts down.
