EC2 AMI snapshot
Is there a way to play an EC2 AMI snapshot locally on a laptop? For example, export the AMI snapshot to VMWare? We have a sales team that need this ability when on the road with no internet connectivity (we currently use VMWare player for this). Thanks.

I believe it is still not possible for an AMI to be exported direct to VMware: VMWare - Import Amazon EC2 AMI?
However, it is possible to mount the EBS that contains the AMI of interest to a fresh, running instance and then use VMware tools to image it and distribute that to your mobile people: http://communities.vmware.com/thread/188775
