Is there an Android emulator that runs on MacOSX? Would be neat to try out apps before installing them on a phone.

    The whole development environment including the simulator is freely available. Google it!

    VMWare, one would think, given that Android is just a variant of Linux, and with lots of Java. My friends at Liquidware have already hacked Android to get it to run on generic platforms.
