CodersRule	AVDs are different from iOS's simulator in that they're proper device emulators, so you'll be able to create a decent Android environment with just the AVD.

9572AD	I've heard those Android emus are chuggingly slow even on beefy PCs, so not real great to judge your app's performance. Since I have not a beefy PC and am doing my coding in Monkey, I have not bothered to set one up. I just compile to HTML5 (or sometimes a different target) to test my program logic is sound, and throw an .apk at my phone if there's any interesting progress. -=-=- All the raw, animal magnetism of a rutabaga.

9572AD	2G Linux Eee Surf? I'd tend to think it needs a beefier Eee, but I'd willingly sacrifice my Surf to the task if it were possible. Linkage? -=-=- All the raw, animal magnetism of a rutabaga.

spinal	Isn't there a bunch of versions that can run happily in virtualbox or some such emulator? -=-=- Check out my excellent homepage!

melmantheman	They are a bit slow but it's still better than nothing. What you could do is sign up for Sony's Loaner program. hey let you use a phone free for dev purposes and then you give it back when done. It's like a phone library -=-=- I do: Art, games, apps, programs I use: Java, C#, Android I have: HP-G62(64bit),KindleFire
