+The "vbox_x86" product defines a non-hardware-specific target intended
+to run on the VirtualBox emulator.
+
+Most of the Android devices (networking, phones, sound, etc) do not work.
+
+ADB via ethernet works with this target. You can use 'adb install' to
+test applications that do not require network, phone or sound support.
+This emulation is useful because VirtualBox runs much faster then does the
+QEMU emulators (at least until a KVM enabled QEMU emulator is available).
