I was picturing an app that would scale the screen pixels to match all those standard emulator options i.e. QVGA, HVGA, WQVGA, WVGA etc. I'm thinking like "skins" or something. Not really trying to catch that moving target per se. More trying to utilize the performance of the native device with out emulation. I might be way off, but if Google can make your non- native PC emulate all those configurations??? I've got 15 AVD's set up right now and I know I'm not alone when I say it's excruciating. Testing with all the sensors sounds good to me too! I'm sure I over simplify because if I understood what it would take, I would be all over it! Needless to say back to the dungeon of pain! Thanks for replying! Ron
