Here's a quick overview on how to run an Android emulator from Eclipse. This assumes everything has been installed, which is a topic for a separate post.

Instructions on how to deploy a newer firmware onto a Belkin Wi-Fi router:
Connectify is an easy to use software router for Windows 7 computers. After downloading and installing the lightweight application, Connectify utilizes your computers' built in Wi-Fi card to wirelessly share any available Internet connection: a cable modem, a cellular card, or even another Wi-Fi network. Other Wi-Fi enabled devices including laptops, smart phones, music players, and gaming systems can see and join your Connectify hotspot just like any other Wi-Fi access point and are kept safe and secure by password-protected WPA2 Encryption.
I certainly hope it is not using only the "built-in Wi-Fi card". Something to try out.

I'd expect the sync to pick up the installed applications and make them available anywhere I run Chrome browser. This, firewall permitting, would enable contacting my friends, dispersed across various chat networks.

Not sure whether it works but might come in handy should I decide to bid on one of these devices on eBay.
