You can start developing with Android Mobile OS and Android Mobile Apps by using Eclipse or Eclipse Pulsar (Eclipse for MobileDev) together with the Android Development Tools (ADT).
And here are some tutorials to help you get started:

Open Source Android mobile phone application development:

- source.android.com/download

or if you'd prefer one platform for developing both iPhone and Android apps then you could try the
which shares common APIs across devices and provides extensibility for each device’s unique capabilities.
I have just found some mobile augmented reality apps for Android and iPhone mobiles.
which are based on the
augmented reality API's !
IBM suggest you can put a tiny cloud in your Android handset and experience the usefulness of a local Web server!

What is JavaFX ?
JavaFX is an expressive client platform for creating and delivering rich internet experiences across all the screens of your life. And now, Sun introduces JavaFX Mobile, which runs directly on Java ME to take advantage of its ubiquity, security, and highly capable feature set.
Two good reasons are: ubiquitous delivery, and rapid development of graphical applications. JavaFX is built on the Java platform, which is available on everything from cell phones to supercomputers. JavaFX Script is designed so that the developer can express their desired results succinctly and simply. Where most programming languages require the developer to describe what they want imperatively (tell me how to achieve the effect you want), JavaFX Script allows you to instead express many things declaratively (tell me what you want, and I'll figure out how to make it happen). Declarative programming is particularly powerful in expressing the interactive relationships between graphical components, greatly simplifing the code and the development process.
