It's parallels for Windows basically running Android..
This could have huge positive implementations.. Testing Android apps, switching to Android on your netbook when you just want it simple and on the go without rebooting, not to mention in the actual development.
Love it and one of the reasons I love Android.. when you have an open mobile OS you can do stuff like this.

I heard the new Android version is not as open as they originally preached, that Google is going to selectively choose the companies they want to share the source code with.
So much for being open.

no.. Android is still open..the Google is tightening up licensing with those who want to put it on their phone and have Google logo..
You can still download Android from depository.
And what does "OPEN" mean.. you have to stop with this bullshit Apple negative PR just because Android is kicking their ass.
Android is not even in the same league as iOS.. It's OPEN in terms of you can do and connect with whatever APIs you want, you can do whatever you want with it and there's no restrictions unlike Apple.. If you want to use Google logo on your phone and you want to use Marketplace then you will have to abide to Google's rules which are now much more strict to avoid fragmentation..
Amazon App Store is simple proof of that.
When someone makes another iOS app store, we can talk about Apple even having a chance of arguing Android's "openness".
Learn to separate Android as an OS which is completely open, and Google's services, the Marketplace and the licensing terms for phone makers to build Android phones.
- Gimme the link to download Honeycomb source code then.ernexbcn
- okay..so will you STFU when they release it? Stop Apple trolling.. Honeycomb is going to be released but Google just doesn't feel it's ready to be publicly deployed.. They do the same thing with Android.. Honeycomb/Android is not a traditional community driven open source project.. it's open source licensed but developed by one company. I think only Apple fanboys have issues understanding this.Boz

A classic case of bait and switch. You have to wonder if Google knew it would push back after a certain point just to capture a large market share.

Will you seriously stop trolling the thread since android virtualization has nothing to do with this. You are really annoying with you ignorance.

Easy does it there, Boz. Not trolling. I participate here all the time. I agree the idea is pretty cool. Innovation pushes the technology forward for all of us. I don't care if it's Apple or Google or some garage shop. Moving another open source OS onto devices for TV is pretty slick.
Play nice or fuck off.
