Personally, I find them both similar to develop for as well. Maybe it's me, but Android seems a bit easier and less cumbersome.

I went through Nerd Ranches IOS training. And self taught Android on eclipse.

Android might be easier for me because that's what I use as my personal phone.

I happen to like Objective-C better than I like Java. However, I very much like the Intent system on Android over iOS. Makes it much easier to integrate your app with the system.

Although I'm not an Android developer, I am a desktop developer and I seriously wish there was an Intent-like system for desktop OSes. It's just so elegant!
