This Is What Developing For Android Looks Like
Is the emulator in the SDK usable now? Last time I tried Android programming it was slow as hell. Unusable even for a simple Phonegap app.

If you use the Android x86 system image it's not bad at all. ARM emulation is still slow as molasses.

Try enabling GPU emulation if you're dealing with ICS. It's much, much faster.

It's still slow because it literally emulates the phone running on an ARM CPU rather than simulate ala the iPhone simulator which runs an x86 version of IOS.

Unless you use the x86 emulator image.
