It is true you may not distribute an app through Android Market whose primary purpose is distributing apps. I suspect we will see the Amazon Appstore pre-installed on OEM devices in the near future (at least in the US). - Richard Lawler -- You received this message because you are subscribed

The Honeycomb emulator is reportedly quite slow on all systems. Your laptop is probably fine. You should probably spring for a real Xoom. The Wifi-only model is due in US stores by the end of March. I can vouch that the 3G model is quite nice and works fine for development. - Richard Lawler --
