I've never messed with the Android SDK. I probably should though, it's pretty popular and in-demand. I just don't have a device available.
Anyways, I would recommend just downloading the SDK and checking out the examples. Java is an easy language to use once you get the hang of it. Actually, almost every language tends to be pretty much the same once you learn one.
If you're comfortable with a different programming languages, I know there's been projects to allow developers to use other languages such as Python.
Also, since you said you want an "easy way" to develop applications, maybe there's some sort of a third-party API that is designed for people like you, just trying to get started and doing it quickly.
I'm sure that wasn't very helpful but good luck to you!

Can anyone suggest me an easy way to learn how to create Android apps. Do I need any previous qualification in order to learn about the SDK of Android, I just looked at the SDK , it is more like Java core language.
Could be possible using: Adobe AIR (at least it can support android and windows Mobile) (ios converter may be available)
For Android: start from here:

Web Development will be obsolete? Hmm, Web development is currently the most cross-platform compatible application solution, it won't just go away...
For instance you can grab PhoneGap and start coding using whatever you already know.

I suggest learning Python or Java, both are cross platform, and both I believe run on maemo, android, and the iphone.
Try starting here.

CSS transitions and 3D tranformations which are hardware accelerated on the iPhone.
For instance:
http://hakim.se/experiments/css3-hologram
http://iphoneized.com/2009/05/3d-cov...iphone-cssvfx/
They won't work in Android I guess...

3D CSS transforms are also available on the desktop, the iPhone browser hardware accelerates them which is the advantage to build good looking and fast interfaces.
