I stumbled upon genymotion.com when reading through this month's 'tech radar' [0] put out by Thoughtworks. Anybody have experience with it? Supposedly it's a fast android emulator that is intended to make it easier to test against the fractured ecosystem. Looks like they offer a free license for non-commercial use, though the feature set is not as robust as their other license options.

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.

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.
