Ooh, shiny! It's definitely much, much faster than the standard emulator (it uses VirtualBox!).

Unfortunately, I was really hoping that we could use this to further test support for Android 2.3, but it looks like this emulator has the same issue as the standard emulator: namely, it causes the app to crash. It's a known issue in the standard 2.3 emulator, so these guys must be using the same code.

Thanks for the link Arthur. I gave it a spin and it just worked.
Performance is significantly faster than the Android emu and it easily
integrated with Android Studio.

Android devs, do give it a spin.
