Android is already routinely emulated on PCs for purposes of development. As it's open source, it's certainly easier to develop a compatibility layer for it than for Windows (if such a thing doesn't already exist).
We used to say the same thing about Windows. Then smartphones and tablets caught on and we saw: actually, we can port apps to new operating systems and develop new ones for them.
