#2similar learning curve with both -- with either one your learning will be split between learning language constructs (Obj-C/Swift or Java), app architecture (iOS and Android both have unique ways of doing common things), and the ecosystem library (Cocoa Touch or Android).

#3Neither is easy. Or conversely, both are about equally difficult.
Also, it's not so much the languages that are the steep learning curve, but the frameworks.

#4In my experience: iOS is a bit easier, as long as you're using Objective-C, but not by much. Learning one doesn't necessarily help you learn the other.

#5Coming from web development (Rails), I started learning Swift this August with no previous background in Objective-C. I've found it to be fairly straightforward to pick up. I learned the basics in about a month and am approaching release of a production level app within the next month or so.
I have never tried Android dev though, so I can't compare to that.

#6Things on iOS are either really really easy or extremely difficult for really arbitrary reasons (can you left align the text in that SearchBox please?). The pain in Android is a bit more constant. Fragmentation is still horrible but getting better.
iOS is slightly more easy overall though.
