They don't have to learn Objective-C. They can write in C++, which is something Windows devs have already been doing for years.
Kermit's comment about increasing the Apple developer base exponentially hits the nail on the head. And it would happen almost overnight.
Keep in mind, this isn't just for the iPhone, iPod and iPad. This is also for Mac OS too.
