You wouldn't be a good businessman if you didn't. Lots of people develop for both platforms, including Google.
Too true, though mobile apps is such a small part of my business right now. For me, the android switch is likely to be more as a user than a developer. As a user I don't really appreciate the way Apple always seems to be trying to push the tolerance envelope until such time as the users revolt and/or regulators start getting involved. Restricting apps with laughably transparent excuses to try to obscure their personal gain; trying to restrict developer tools in order to ratchet up some personal Jobsian feud, until the regulators start questioning them and they back down; "Don't hold it that way."; and now the content issue.

And I'm a guy who LIKES Apple products!
