Are you happy with the development tools for Android/iPhone? What would you change if you could?

I've been working with Android SDK + Eclipse, and that seems fairly straightforward, as far as the SDK arena goes. Having used Eclipse for some time, I suppose it was familiar, so the pros and cons are effectively the pros and cons of Eclipse, without really bearing on the Android SDK either way.

I keep trying to work with Appcelerator Titanium, but I haven't spent enough time to have much of an opinion of it.

If we're talking hypotheticals, the one thing in mobile development I would change is to figure out SOME way to build iOS apps without having a Mac. I initially thought that Titanium gave me the ability to, but I was mistaken.
