The emulator is almost unusable, and contrary to the OS, it's generally of poor quality. I understand that Google engineers all have a Nexus S at their disposal, but it's not the case for us mere mortals, and since I'm in Canada, I don't expect having one until hell freezes over as hardly anyone in California even know where Canada is. This is a competitive disadvantage and very unfortunate.
There are also other problems I am investigating, like an emulator that won't turn on anymore after shutdown and screen orientation problems new to the latest SDK. Please Google, invest some time in the emulator for the next version. It may look stupid, but thousands of developers around the world loosing their time with the emulator is a lot of hours wasted at not making great apps. forgive my English, it might s***.
