The Google development kit you use to make Android apps has an emulator that runs in Windows but it's so awful that nobody uses it unless they have to (like to emulate an Android version you don't have). The place I work at does all development on actual phones. I hear the Google people do too, which is why the emulator sucks.
It works, it's just obnoxiously slow, and that's on an Intel I7. I doubt it would be usable on a phone.
