To have tested, the android emulator on i686_64 is very slow.
(phone is usually ARM, not i386)
It is also a memory eater. (you need far more on the PC than on the
real device), so beware of more slowing due to swapping.

I'm not sure you can connect to the playstore either to try
applications with the emulation.

On the bright side, you can download your own application without
paying google, and you can try various screen size, orientation and
physical buttons.

Now, emulating the touch screen with a mouse is not always the right
thing. (and do not consider the multi-touch gestures either)
