    Android & Apps on Windows 7

    Android Emulator on Windows 7

    Does anyone know of a solid build that works? I am yet to try any and it doesn’t seem as widely popular as I thought it would be. Idea is to just try and get a version of Android on my carPC. Mainly so the likes of Spotify mobile can be used on the carPC when im driving? Hopefully one day I will b able to use Android as an OS but for now a good emulator would work nicely.

    A few instructions are available on how to do it via the Android SDK but they date back from 12 – 18months ago, so was wondering if anyone here had any experience of it before I have a fiddle?


    Cheers guys

    Really? I would rather get the music direct as you would still have to load it up unless you have a 3G connection which could be very costly

    Yikes. This is likely to be much harder than just running the OS. Scratchbox is torture.
