I used the emulator. As long as you have a sighted person to turn on
Talkback the first time you load the emulated phone, you can use that
phone and when it starts it will talk. I also used ant and wrote my
files in EdSharp since I did not have much luck with Jaws and Eclipse,
but I know there are ways of getting Eclipse to interact with Jaws
properly (well, the other way around, but you get the point).
