I have some experience with the iPhone and am just starting to get my head around android. I'm not sure what aspect/comparison you are most interested in. The first most obvious difference is Java vs Objective- C. I had done a lot of Java before I started on the iPhone. If you have experience with a C style language Objective-C is not too bad. The next big comparison would be the extensive (mature but overwhelming) Cocoa Touch libraries and frameworks vs activities and the Android approach.
