It really depends on the kind of application that you are developing. If you
are writing code that uses the view system and other standard stuff such as
network operations, sync manager, storage, preferences, etc... then the
emulator will work fine.

If you are working in an area that's a bit more hardware sensitive (graphic
code, accelerometer, GPS, camera, Bluetooth, etc...) then you will be better
off developing on a real device.

Thankfully, these two modes of development are very similar so switching
between them is pretty much frictionless. As opposed, to, say, Java ME.
