@media only screen and (max-device-width:480px), 

only screen and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2)

{ /*iphone css*/ }







max-device width makes sense but pixel ratio doesn't make any sense to me. thanks.

    From http://developer.android.com/reference/android/webkit/WebView.html


    The -webkit-device-pixel-ratio CSS media query. Use this to specify
    the screen densities for which this style sheet is to be used. The
    corresponding value should be either "0.75", "1", or "1.5", to
    indicate that the styles are for devices with low density, medium
    density, or high density screens, respectively. For example: The hdpi.css stylesheet is only used for devices
    with a screen pixel ration of 1.5, which is the high density pixel
    ratio.


    And according to https://developer.mozilla.org/en/CSS/Media_queries


    -moz-device-pixel-ratio

    Gives the number of device pixels per CSS pixel.

    Note: This media feature is also implemented by Webkit as
    -webkit-device-pixel-ratio. The min and max prefixes as implemented by Gecko are named min--moz-device-pixel-ratio and
    max--moz-device-pixel-ratio; but the same prefixes as implemented by
    Webkit are named -webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio and
    -webkit-max-device-pixel-ratio.

Slow Android emulator

By User
I have a 2.67 GHz Celeron processor, 1.21 GB of RAM on a x86 Windows XP Professional machine. My understanding is that the Android emulator should start fairly quickly on such a machine, but for me it does not. I have followed all instructions in setting up the IDE, SDKs, JDKs and such and have had some success in staring the emulator quickly but is very particulary. How can I, if possible, fix this problem?
