As far as Android emulators go, the very first and only one I've tried before called "Bluestacks" works quite well, so yes, Android emulators do work and would probably be a concern if dumped with iDevices.

BlueStacks does not work with Graal, nor does any public and free Android emulator. Try it yourself. Manymo, YouWave, etc. The only one I know of that I've not tried is the actual Android SDK, and I wouldn't be surprised if the app fails to open with that.
Do people actually think PC players are going to emulate Android just to enter a different GST? No thanks. I think I speak for the majority when I say I'd rather not be a part of that dramatic and laggy mess.
Mixed GST: "GG, was fun!"
iDevice GST: "OMFG LAGGY HISPANIC FRENCH IDIOT THIS IS AN OUTRAGE REPORT AND GET ALL BANNED ALSO BOYCOTT BATTLE ARENA I'M 12 SPARRING IS DED"
Anyway, Androids should be allowed in a mobile tournament. This fear of keyboards is old news. I can use a bluetooth keyboard on my iPod, have done it before. Just because it's possible doesn't mean people are going to do it out of desperation. The Mixed GST is less competitive than the iDevice GST anyway. Why would anyone using an Android want to make it harder for themselves? If they do though, they should be able to.
I think the fact that no godlike Android sparrer has yet emerged kind of defends this argument for itself. But, the day PCs came to the Battle Arena still gives some of you nightmares. So, yeah.
