Android.

And for platforms such as Windows, Linux and Mac, you
can run Android already for ages via the emulator that
comes with the SDK. You can download here:

https://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
(Scroll down to SDK Tools Only)

So I am not sure what is this fuzz about. The chrome
plug-in is probably a rip-off of the SDK emulator made
ready to embed in a browser. Isn't it?

The emulator has its history of its own. It is described here:
http://developer.android.com/tools/help/emulator.html

Initially the emulator was mostly useless if you didn't
have a very fast machine. It did also emulate the GPU.

Newer versions of the emulator are better, they support
the native GPU to some extend and if available, make also
use of special CPU instructions. See also:

http://developer.android.com/tools/devices/emulator.html

But still, devices are better than the emulator. I
guess this might also hold for the Android applet,
that it is not supperior to devices.

Made a little test on a Mac of Arc Welder. Smooth text widget.
Awful dalvik performance. And a crash after a while during
some widget interaction.

Hm.
