Awhile back on this group was mentioned at least once whether it was possible to launch Android in VMware.
A little over 24 hrs ago the Android LiveCD project released its latest (v.0.3) and IMO it looks pretty good in VMware. http://code.google.com/p/live-android/ Some notes: - I strongly recommend the torrent download instead of the other options. You'll get it faster and as a single ISO. Not sure yet why the other downloads require two separate downloads, then joining the files. - There doesn't seem to be <any> documentation anywhere on how to access the hardware buttons in the emulator, but are implemented as I'm describing... Sorry, if you're not using a Windows OS and/or a Windows keyboard, you're SOL... ESC > Back Left Windows Key > Home Right Windows Key > Menu Tab > Google Search - There seems to still be some issues running the LiveCD or USB emulators directly on certain hardware, but it looks like there are <no problems> running in any of the major virtualization environments like VMware, VMware Fusion, VirtualBox. - Latest version looks like it now enables the DHCP client by default. Was a big issue with previous versions. In fact, it now "just works" and reading the README isn't as critical anymore. - Some people seem to have expected the anticipated Chrome OS, but this is <only> the Android mobile OS running on an x86. Although I haven't yet tried to run any dev application code, I can't see why there should be any issue. Just use some TCP/IP solution to transfer the APK to the emulator and execute.
