I think the question for most indie iPhone developers is not necessarily: is android hard? But: is android worth the time investment. For indie developers, time = money.
The range of sales for android paid apps are publicly available on the android market. Based on my own sales figures (I've been as high as #66 overall on the Top Paid iphone list) as well as knowing the sales figures of other highly ranked apps like Angry Birds and Doodle Jump, it is apparent that paid apps on android do an order of magnitude less in sales than their iOS counterparts of the same rank.
That said, I'm release my best performing iPhone app (currently makes about 1K/day) on android in a few days. So we'll see how it goes.
