Yup me too, it's kinda frustrating hearing and seeing all these cool apps and ideas floating around for Android, but unless you have a decent programming knowledge it's gonna be tough.
Anyway if you're looking for something simple - say your own personalised RSS application then this might be pretty cool.
AppLoop have released an application generator that allows you to create an RSS app that'll work on either the iPhone or Android phones.
The service is currently invite only at the moment, but might be worth bookmarking.
