The only thing that scares me about using an emulator is I can develop the software, thinking it's working, but can't test it in landscape mode (can I?) and I would really like to have a hands on device to test on. If anyone has an android phone they aren't using, send it my way . Also, I'm thinking about rooting my phone, just didn't want to risk bricking it. I have an HTC Aria if anyone is familiar with rooting that one.
