I'm not going to attempt to sell you on which of the two is better, as they both offer numerous benefits for developers, but I will say that for app creators who are looking to make a living from their apps, finding some sort of balance between devices is never a bad idea. Many iOS developers shy away from Android due to device fragmentation and the need to further patch/re-create apps for different version of the OS - of which there are many. If you're versed in OS X and iOS development, you might be asking yourself why even bother with Android? If you're ready to move on from creating iPhone apps, or you're itching to create the next big thing for Android, installing the IDE is step one of the journey. Or, if we're moving too fast, why don't you start with a course? You might need a Mac in order to create your own iOS apps, but if you're more of a green alien sort of guy, the Android IDE (Integrated Development Environment) is also available on OS X ( among other platforms).
