An Alternative to the Android-Emulator?

I know I could u开发者_如何学Pythonse my Desire Z as a test phone, but what if I want to develop for 3.0 Honeycomb? What's an alternative for the emulator since it's so slow?

This site has been getting some press recently. It seems that they are going to launch a windows runnable version of android later this year. This will be another alternative to using devices or emulators for testing I would imagine.

A general solution to the slowness of processor-emulation based emulators is to run a build of the embedded environment compiled for the same processor and general architecture as the hosting machine, in virtual machine software which can run most of the code native, and only has to trap and emulate privileged/hardware-related actions.

In other words, you run the x86 build of android in VirtualBox, vmware, or whatever, and dispense with the overhead of emulating an arm processor.

In quick web searching I'm not getting a confident answer if there's a working build of Honeycomb for x86 yet, but presumably there will be a build of that or a later android version at some point.

The only alternative is to have a physical device with Android 3.0 imaged on it.

Try this one for a change it actually provides an eclipse plugin and it uses cloud i guess it is faster than the emulator comes with android by default http://www.genymotion.com/features/
