Ask HN: Develop on Android or iPhone?

I would like to start doing some mobile development, but am stuck between the two SDKs mentioned. I have been playing around with both Android and the iPhone, and find there are things that I like and dislike about each of them.

My back-end language experience includes mostly c# and Ruby, but I didn't have any issues getting familiar objective-C, learning new languages is usually fairly enjoyable.

Does anyone have advice for which one to choose based off personal experiences?

Update: I should add that the two biggest deciding points for me are development enjoyment and speed of development.

I am not overly concerned with user base since it is possible that Android could gain a lot of ground in the next couple years.
