Using VirtualBox for Mobile App Development?

I keep wanting to use VitualBox for Mobile App Development, but I can't see开发者_Go百科m to get the emulator to run fast enough inside the already-emulated 32-bit machine.

Is there any way around this?

Now while it doesn't seem to me like there is an answer to this question, I figured I'd ask it anyway.

P.S. I have a 64-bit machine.

This should do the trick: 4 (or more) core CPU, plenty of ram (>4GB) and install the virtual operating system on a disk other than the one your main OS uses (e.g. firewire/esata external drive). Another virtualization software might be faster too, but that I don't know.

You could use the x86 build of android in another virtual machine instead of the emulated arm of the current SDK one... (rumor is google is going to move in that direction anyway). Last I tried this, it booted/ran much faster than the arm emulator running on a physical machine, but the mouse emulation was painfully slow, maybe they've fixed that now.

(You have to set up adb over tcp manually or with your own script so that eclipse or whatever knows about this target)
