Free Android Emulators
The free Android emulators listed on this page allow you to run and test Android apps and games on your desktop or laptop computer by emulating an Android machine. Some of the emulators were written primarily with the running of Android games in mind, and so focus their attention on the features that make gameplay smooth and pleasant, while others are directed mainly at software developers, that is people who intend to use them to test their apps or games.
