What kind of Android? 3.1? the 2.3 emulators are much better than the honeycomb ones.

Honeycomb emulator is slower because of the 1280x800 resolution. Google mentioned at I/O that it seems the emulator lags from the lack of hardware acceleration, and they said it would come by end of the year I think. I wonder if it's ready for 4.0. It should be.

Honeycomb emulator is also much slower because more parts of the UI use 3d acceleration which the emulator has to, well, emulate in SW
