How to speed up your android emulator on Mac.
I have Parallels running on my mac just for using Visual Studio from osx (and obviously I'm not going to open an android emulator inside of the virtual machine). I have been using VMware for a while, but I changed to Parallels because they are more user oriented, and the perfomance is similar. In the latest version of Parallels they included the option to install an android virtual machine just doing a few clicks (this should work for any android virtual machine if you're interested).
