The problem is the emulator. It doesn't come with Market. And you can't access Market over the Internet either. Not like you want for testing purposes. Some time ago there were some versions of Market floating around that could be installed onto the emulator. I tried one this morning on the Eclair emulator but it didn't work, so this may not be an option unless you run an old version of the emulator, but then your application would not be able to take advantage of anything newer than that version. Your best bet is to use a real device.
