Developing android apps on Android x86

I'm looking for some resources about developing android apps using Android x86 as I don't have an android device and the emulator is way to slow to be able to use. Anyone have any resources or advice for trying to do this?

As your whole development is not targeted at the hardware platform, but at Dalvik (the virtual machine), you shouldn't have any problems developing for Android on x86 the same way you do it for mobile. My guess is that you might find trouble when you decide to do more advanced things like using the NDK,as there you're dealing with native code, but it probably shouldn't be a problem if you have experience with linux programming.

some companies provide "cloud" access to real mobile devices for testing purpose. I just googled http://www.perfectomobile.com/portal/cms/android.html but I did not use it. There are probably competitors with similar services.
