Because that doesn’t expose issues that appear with the UI gestures, or some interactions. I’ve tried with the emulator, but it never is the same as the real device, and you just can’t test pinch-zo-zoom for example on an emulator.

You can use any android device to send multi-touch, gestures and sensors events to the emulator: http://tools.android.com/tips/hardware-emulation http://tools.android.com/tips/hardware-emulation Android Emulator also has been supporting "multi touch" via the mouse and keyboard for a while now, IIRC it's alt+click. Android devices that run stock android and get monthly updates can be bought for under 150 and even 100 EUR e.g. WilleyFox.
