Here's my two pesos worth: I was having the same problem as Fahd and Sheng-Yi Shih. The emulator would start but then it would sit at the ANDROID screen and just stare back at me. I finally realized that if I waited for about 5 mins or more the Hello Android app (finally) shows up!
My Development Environment: (very stripped down version of) Win XP Pro x64, 1.8Ghz, 960Mb RAM, eclipse-3.4.2, Android SDK 1.5, HTC Magic. Obviously I need more RAM on this machine to do any real work with Java but I figure the above meets the requirements. Talking about the requirements, I also realized that because this is not my primary Java dev machine, I had not installed jdk. I pulled a copy (32 bit since my jre is 32 bit as well) down, installed it and added the "bin" directory to my path. Hope no one else forgets theirs. Finally I just decided to run the app directly on my Android. I made the necessary manifest changes and set the device options on my HTC. I installed the driver just like the instructions say at: http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/device.html and it didn't work either. I run "adb devices" at the command line and it had no devices listed. I checked my drivers in the Device Manager and realized the driver had not installed. Why? well duh, I used the 32 bit driver instead of the 64 bit... So I reinstalled, this time using the 64 bit driver, restarted the machine and bam! So I'm just going to test directly on the device until I either upgrade my machine or setup my dev environment on my faster machine. Obviously, this is only helpful to those who have a device. If you are just developing sans device (i.e. you are dependent on the emulator) all I can say is you have to be patient for it to start up and run. Once it starts up the first time, do not close it. Leave the emulator running, modify your code in eclipse (or you choice of IDE) then Run it. It "speeds" thing up. Don't forget that an emulator is pure software struggling to do everything the magical combination of dedicated hardware and purpose written software does. Have fun!
