Apps Developing without the AVD?

Since I'm having no success at getting the AVD to show results from Hello World (as mentioned in
yesterday's post (which I apparently put in the wrong group...sorry...still making newbie mistakes),
something is causing it to peg the CPU at 100% ... something which is clearly an error on my part
as even X11, a massive hog, only takes it to 4%..... But, until I can find out what's going on, are
there any FMs out there that I can read on developing for the Android platform without the benefit
of the virtual device?

I won't be able to get started today, as I'll be brewing from about 30 minutes from now (setup,
won't start the jet-burner until 0900 as a courtesy to my neighbors!) until mid-afternoon, and by
that time, I'll be ready to quit for the day.... But if anyone has any suggestions, I will be checking
in here during periods where I don't need to be outside (i.e., when things are running on their own).

Thanks.....

FWIW, here's the info on my system (well, the one I'm working this stuff on---not the FreeBSD
system):

HP Intel Celeron processor - 1.40 GHz
504 MB of RAM

OS M$ Windoze XP
Home Edition
Version 2002 SP 2

Available disk space on drive C at present (with JDK, the SDK, Netbeans, and Eclipse):

Filesystem 1k-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
c: 78148160 45404912 32743248 59% /c

The code I'm trying to run is from the Hello World example, this time even cut/pasted to make SURE
I didn't miss a character anywhere. I'm at the stage where the example says to run it before doing the
XML. adb indicates (as posted yesterday) that the CPU is peggec, and task manager confirms it.
 
Answering my own question....yes, it works. Hello World won't work (and nobody seems to know why), but it
DOES work on my phone.
