First you would have to decide which platform you want to develop for:
Android:
- Download the SDK here[^].
- You can start with The Android Developer Guide[^]. It's a long read, for Java based development, but I think the first couple of sections will be useful since they show you the android application architecture / life-cycle.
- If you're comfortable with C/C++ android supports native development using the NDK (write a JNI layer to have your native code work with the Java code). You can download the NDK here[^], search Google[^] for more on the NDK
- Hardware: The android SDK shouldn't require you to really buy any new hardware to develop on. It supports windows, linux and OSX, but I haven't tried on the Mac.
- You might want to get an android phone to test you apps on, it's useful but it shouldn't be necessary if you're just trying to learn or for fun.

iPhone:
- The best resource I've found is the apple developer site[^].
- Development is mostly done in Objective C[^].
- The IDE used is XCode which is a decent IDE, but coming from Visual studio took a bit of work to get used to.
- You would have to buy an apple machine with MacOSX to develop although OSX runs on the intel architecture and if you search enough and are spend some time on it, you can install MacOS on a virtual machine or even on your PC.
- Finally, having an iPod / iPhone / iPad will be useful for testing.

Windows Phone:
- Haven't really worked on it but a quick google search got me to this[^]


Hope this helps
