[android-developers] Re: android emulator

If I could stick in my 2 cents as a new guy, my emulator takes longer
than 3 minutes to boot, but then I have a pretty old computer.
Initially it was 5 minutes or so, when I switched to the "Google API"
AVD it took 20 minutes to boot up. And then it wouldn't run my
examples, it would just say they're not responding. Hence my other
thread about picking a hardware platform.
