Ok, if it Google doesn't want it done, could someone explain why? Doesn't make sense to me. A critical part of having a software business, planning to make money from writing and selling applications, is to learn how you're supposed to sell it and search for competitors.
Especially in the Android area... there are many phones, you can't possibly buy them all. You need a good simulator. You need a simulator that runs applications from the market. Why would this be discouraged? The easiest specific solution would be to have a browser accessible version of the market. This would be very useful for potential Android purchasers. Folks talk about all the apps, but what is really available? With the iPhone you can browse with iTunes. But on Android, nothing? But the best solution is to be able to run the emulator as a very functional specific device, such as the Motorola Droid. That way you can see how your app looks in the proper resolution and compare it with other apps that you run on the same emulated device.
