That's about how it is on Android. Maybe more than 2 seconds, though. 3? 5? Something like that.

With WM 3 seconds? It takes only to boot up 3-4 minutes. Emulator is painfully slow. Whole internet is full of complaints about it...

Debugging on the actual device is a much, much better experience than debugging on the emulator.

I agree. I'm doing it myself also, otherwise it would be impossible to develop for android. But you need to test your application on different screen sizes, dpi etc. Or you can buy loads of different phones to test on them all.

OK, cool. The shorter time is probably just because I only ever got as far as writing toy apps.
