      What's the big difference to intel's image? http://software.intel.com/en-us/arti...r-system-image

      More drivers and newer kernel?

      Also, "lanucher", how about spell checking their release announcement?

        Some previous versions didn't have a final release. The latest release of Jeally Bean is a test release. This project sucks. Better try genymotion or Intel's images.

              Geeksphone (javascript required) is working on an Atom-powered smartphone that runs Android and Firefox OS. Beside, I suppose it could be useful to develop Android apps on your desktop??

              What I?m wondering is if native, non-java apps can work on this x86 version of Android or if they need recompilation.

                There are a few, and I suspect that Baytrail and it's successors will bring more. Maybe even a few credible ones

                Of course, those will also be prime targets for the intel images.

                    That's what the Android SDK exists for.
