Hi Jill,

Yes.  Your best bet is to use the emulator that comes with the Android Software Development Kit (SDK).  One of the other code4lib presentations included some screenshots showing some of the steps to download that SDK and create and start up an emulator instance [1].

I would recommend taking a look at the M-Libraries wiki [2].

There are also some eclectic, but useful, links under the "mobile" tag in my delicious account [3].  The focus is on the development end, but there are some links to good mobile interfaces, too.
