It's no secret that you can run AppInventor against the emulator (link). While its clear that "the emulator provided with App Inventor is the standard Android emulator", its not clear whether or not you can use a customized Eclipse-launched AVD and use it with AI.
You can!
Just spark up the AVD normally and click "connect to phone" from the blocks editor, and there it is. Note that you will want an AVD with an SD card or it won't download any media (sounds, pictures, etc) to the emulator. You can also package for the virtual (still necessary for some blocks to work).
Using an AVD is especially helpful if developing AI apps that interact with other activities.
