Just to be a bit cheeky, why use the Android emulator at all? You know it doesn't cost $99/year to to run your Android apps on a device. But yes, I'm using both Android and iPhone/iPad SDKs and Android SDK is a bit klutzy and slow. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the G

I only use the emulator for 1.6 QVGA devices, but it starts pretty fast, on the order of tens of seconds. Windows 7 64-bit, 4 Gb of RAM, Intel i7 860, 32-bit Java and Eclipse. -- Kostya Vasilyev -- http://kmansoft.wordpress.com 25.08.2010 0:00 пользователь "Sari" написал: I have a fairly fast
