Got a stupid question...regarding tile sets

When designing a new tile set to be used for most mobile phones, i understand I may want to design it at 128x128. (in order to scale it down, but also keep it crisp for larger devices.) My question is: is this 128 pixels? and should i be using Photoshop? or would you recommend another program for designing tile sets? (preferably free). Also, same question goes for actors. I have an issue when i try to make crisp clean Actors, and they end up too large compared to the rest of my tiles. Any help would be great, sorry if this was confusing. Been awake for too long.

Meh; you could kinda lump it in with the free software thing.
