Android mobile phone yet to be affordable for all, but if you want to test an app but you don't have android phone, what will you do? Here are few tools that might help you to achieve that! Yes, you can run them in your computer, laptops and everywhere!
YouWave =
YouWave Android - to all who want the benefit of accessing Android apps on Windows-based PCs. Although tens of thousands of Android apps are out there and many of them are freely downloadable, PC owners are still not able to use those apps without owning Android phones. There is an Android emulator available to download, but it is only targeted to developers. It is also very slow and cumbersome for the average person to use.
Seeing a need for such capability, the YouWave team has set a goal to make a user-friendly, high performance Windows-based platform that can run Android apps without the need of an Android smart phone. We did it.
Now, you can download YouWave Android software directly to your PC. Best of all, it is FREE. Just download, install and start enjoying the fun of the Android world right on your PC!

Android-x86 Project =
This is a project to port Android open source project to x86 platform, formerly known as "patch hosting for android x86 support". The original plan is to host different patches for android x86 support from open source community.
A few months after we created the project, we found out that we could do much more than just hosting patches. So we decide to fork our code base that will provide android x86 support on different x86 platforms, and set up a git server to host it. To reflect this major change, we create this new project.
Android SDK =
If you're already using the Android SDK, you should update to the latest tools or platform using the Android SDK and AVD Manager, rather than downloading a new SDK starter package.
