Coding for Google's Project Glass, is learning Google Android for mobile the way to go?

I am excited about the possibilities that come with Project Glass. Based on an article I read on the New York Times, they said it (Project Glass) will be based on the Android software -

The glasses will use the same Android software that powers Android smartphones and tablets. Like smartphones and tablets, the glasses will be equipped with GPS and motion sensors. They will also contain a camera and audio inputs and outputs.

I am a front/back-end web developer by profession. I learnt C++ and Java at university and actually retained this knowledge :). I've pretty much grasped the more advanced concepts of programming so let's skip the basics.

Would gaining experience coding on the Android for phones platform better prepare me for coding on project glass when it comes out?
