Emulation of Android on a computer is available through using the SDK. Lifehacker have a good walkthrough of setting up a virtual emulation of an Android device on a Windows machine here:
http://lifehacker.com/5587260/how-to-test-drive-android-on-your-pc-without-buying-a-phone . This should cover the emulation of Android, but TouchWiz might be a little more difficult.
These virtual devices are full installs of the Android operating system, and if there is a way of installing TouchWiz on a normal Android phone (try searching for 'TouchWiz for Froyo') it will be possible to install it on a virtual phone. You can install
applications in apk files using 'adb', a debug tool. A quick search of 'install apk with adb' should yield many results.
Extract all files from the downloaded ZIP file to the new directory
Edit the file
manifest.ini
and change the line
api=9
to
api=10
Start the AVD and click "New..."
Under Target select "Android 2.3.3 - API Level 10"
Under Skin choose "GALAXY_S2" from the dropdown list
Click "Create AVD"
As you may have noticed the AVD will be based upon the Android API 10 level. So the Galaxy S2 skin won't show up if you choose the target Android API level 16 for example.
My device list never refreshes on chnaging the SDK API version. For example it keeps showing for API 17 only. When i chnage to 2.3.3 API 10, still it shows the same device list.
