It seems my post from yesterday never showed up so I'm going to give it another shot. I'm also having this problem, I can find no way to edit the hosts file on an android virtual device. According to the docs adb remount is supposed to put /system into read-write mode -- which it may be doing -- but I'm still getting an Out of Space error.
It looks like I'm going to have to setup a DNS server just so I can test a website unless someone has a better suggestion that I may be overlooking.
