This is very cool. How long until they are sued by MS, Google, both or bought out by one or the other? Very interesting idea about running the Android apps on an iPad via the PC. Didn't see that one coming

120MB DL wouldn't install on Windows XP SP3, but installed and runs fine on my Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 X64 system.

Cloud Connect is a free app from the Market: https://market.android.com/search?q=cloudconnect&so=1&c=apps

Yes, it's great to be able to run Android apps under Windows.

Another option is to install the Android Emulator: http://www.androidtablets.net/forum/android-tablet-discussions/42823-android-emulator.html on your PC, and run Android apps there.
