    Because the only way I know of to test Android code on the Android emulator in Linux is to use Eclipse with both Google's ADT plugin and Android SDK. The Android SDK contains emulators and images for different Android versions and the ADT plugin for Eclipse acts as a middleman that allows Eclipse to 'see' and use all the tools provided by the SDK.
    No, it means that you can test vanilla Linux in the Android emulator.

    What exactly is this Goldfish?
    Why does we need this Goldfish emulator thing?
    We already have KVM and Xen.

    So why do we need this Goldfish when we already have emulators?



    Also, what is this SGI Ultraviolet System 3 (UV3) platform?
    I've never heard of it before.
    SGI got bought up by Rackable Systems, they still make stuff?

    As I understand it, this pull of goldfish just lets you run the android environment without having to use an unaccelerated qemu. It simulates an atom processor and provides hooks for input/output. So, you should be able to run the emulator with appropriate avds using kvm acceleration, but you need vt extensions.

    If it allows Google to more closely track the upstream Linux kernel, that might be a reason in itself.

    Androd is a benifit to Linux. It also gives you the oputunity to easily build and test you linux in the android emulator if you so wish.
