The instructions you followed are very detailed. What step is stopping you to run the emulator?<br />
<br />
Its very simple: <br />
<br />
You have to download and install Java (if you dont have it already) and the SDK manager.<br />
<br />
Java: <a href="http://java.com/en/" rel="ugc">http://java.com/en/</a><br />
<br />
SDK manager: <a href="http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html" rel="ugc">http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html</a><br />
<br />
First you run the SDK manager.<br />
Then you create one instance of emulator from the SDK manager (as described in the tutorial).<br />
You select this instance and run it.<br />
<br />
Thats it.

Hi. Thanks. Actually I did that part already. Sorry if my question is not clear. I meant from now, is it possible to try some apps from the Android marketplace and if so how?

Hi. I installed the Android Virtual Device Manager. I am completely new to Android (and Iphone). Can anyone say how I could try some of the free Android apps on this emulator? <br />
I don't know where to go, what to download, and how to run it.<br />
Thanks.<br />
P.S. I installed according to someone's instructions here:<br />

how to run an app on the sdk

Android is a mobile operating system developed by Google, based on the Linux kernel and designed primarily for touchscreen mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets. Android's user interface is based on direct manipulation, using touch gestures that loosely correspond to real-world actions, such as swiping, tapping and pinching, to manipulate on-screen objects, along with a virtual keyboard for text input. In addition to touchscreen devices, variants of Android are also used on notebooks, game consoles, digital cameras, televisions, automobiles and other electronics. Applications are usually developed in Java programming language using the Android software development kit (SDK), but other development environments are also available, including Delphi, Ruby and Visual Studio (using C++).
