Hi Arthur, If you want a platform agnostic app, might I suggest developing Phonegap. This will allow you to develop your app like a web application using tools that may perhaps already be familiar to you (HTML, JavaScript, CSS, etc). To add to that, you could use a web platform like Sencha Touch (or jquery mobile, though I believe Sencha touch has better performance and features). Developing it for Android will not make it platform agnostic and will significantly reduce your audience (especially a paying audience). The downside is that there is a limit to what you can do (ie. making 3D games or photo editing software). Have a look at Phonegap though. They support quite a range of platforms. Oh, and they are based in Vancouver as well.
