Ralf, I would say the Android emulator should have a comparable startup time to the iPhone simulator (which is extremely fast to startup and also to reuse - seconds for each of those actions). Since the emulator can be reused once started, that's very usable. But I think the Android developers should set their sights on getting comparable speed as the iPhone simulator when starting and reusing the emulator.
