Star Live Android Lets You Run Android on Your PC

Google "Want to give Google Android a try, but don't feel like buying a T-Mobile G1? LiveAndroid lets you download a LiveCD disc image of the Google Android operating system. Just burn the image to a disc, stick it in a CD-ROM drive, and reboot your computer and you can check out Android without installing it or affecting any files on your PC. You can also use the disc image in a virtualization application like VirtualBox or Microsoft Virtual PC if you want to try the operating system without even rebooting your computer."

It does not work really. Main screen works, but network does not, most of apps report instantly that they are crashed, memory card is not connected, so you can not try player or photoalbum. The only app you can try is calculator.

It works fine for me. It doesn't make calls, obviously and I cant see how to get any apps or data into it but everything there does what you'd expect. It's quite neat, actually.

Maybe it works inside VM. It does not work on my computers if I boot from it.
