Can you run the Android market app in a virtual device(a simulated android) or in the emulator?
Would you elaborate, please? How do I run it?

You need to grab the market .apk from somewhere else (try your phone :)), as it doesn't come built into the emulator.

I don't have an Android phone. Where would you recommend I get it from? Thanks!

@Emanuil: The Android Market is only distributed on devices. It is not available for separate download, except from those violating copyright.

If you want to know which apps are avaible on Android Market you can use AndroidPIT.

The market is only allowed to run on devices that google licenced it to.
You could use a application backup tool to get the apk from your phone and then try to install this apk on an emulator. This violates the copyright from google that means copying the market apk is likely to be illegal, and it does not work because the market uses a shared library that is not present on the emulator.
