Android-x86 is a project to port Android open source to the x86 platform, formerly known as "patch hosting for android x86 support". In this video I’ll show you how to create a VMware vSphere virtual machine configured with the Android-x86 boot CD.

Hey Eric,
Yet another very cool demo! I searched the VMware Tools on Android, and got the following message which doesn't have a definitive answer:

After watching demo, I keep thinking: what are the appealing use cases for the Android inside VM? Size (as your video shows 53+M) is definitely one advantage. Packaging application with Android makes minimum overhead, but the GUI is quite different then.
What do you think?

Hey Steve, I’m glad you like me demo. I think running Android in a virtual machine will allow people to evaluate and discover the OS. For development purposes I would rather stick to the SDK and the emulator. Thanks for the heads up regarding the VMware tools install, I’ll give it a try at an installed version of the VM.

Hoi Eric, ik heb een aantal keren geprobeerd om android te installeren , doch het lijkt wel of de ISO niet goed is of heb jij iets aangepast? in ieder geval krijg ik het niet werken...
Vgr,
Leo
