To build for Android you can do so using the SDK on a MAC or nonMAC...

A majority of sites (main stream) have related apps for their websites, (both ISO and Droid based apps)
Add to that a large stand alone app development push.

So it would make sense that developers more and more are using MACs...
Would you want to explain to your client or VC that you can't build them an app of both Android and IOS, not because of your skill set, but because you simply can't run the SDK.
