I'm developing Java application using Eclipse IDE. problem is my PC is every low performance with XP. My company has many PCs free. So is there way to distribute free computer power and get that computer power for my Android application development?
If your whole computer is slow and the UI is generally unresponsive, then no there is nothing you can do. If you are writing an Android application that has trouble running on a desktop, than you have a problem in your code/design that you aren't going to solve with more developer hardware.
Technically, you may be able to distribute an android emulator through Hadoop, but unless you're working for free, the time-cost would be greater than that of a new computer. If your employer values your time, they will buy you a decent computer.

On a tablet, is it possible to install Linux on an SD card, and let it boot from it without the need to partition the internal memory and without touching Android?
For a native boot, out of the box, no. Android tablets generally have a locked bootloader and there would likely be driver issues. However, it has been done. For this to be done, however, you need to do quite a bit to the tablet.
I recommend you research which distribution of linux you want running on a tablet, then look for guides (such as on xda-developers.com), then buy the corresponding tablet.
You can emulate linux on your android phone. Take a look at this app:https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zpwebsites.linuxonandroid&hl=en

I'm buying new laptop I fed up with my pc, AVD loads slowly in my pc so I'm buying new laptop what configuration should I have for my Android application development.
I run a Surface Pro with an Intel i5, 4GB of RAM, integrated chipset and run things just fine.
I also develop on a late 2011 MacBook Pro. Granted, I don't use the built in emulator and just run my application on my phone. I feel these are some bare minimum specs that you can somewhat comfortably develop with.

Good Day everyone. I have a laptop that has just 1GB of RAM and I am tying to develop android apps. I would like to know if I can run my apps using this laptop. ALso, what kind of profiles would I create for the Android Virtual Device settings. Thanks, any help would be appreciated.
I would think it will be terribly slow, if you can run it at all. The OS itself consumes a lot of memory and 1GB is pretty low to run your Eclipse or other tools on top of your operating system. I used to have a windows XP Laptop with 3GB RAM. The emulator would be ready after 10 minutes - once I start it!! I am not a big fan of mac, but had to buy a high end mac book to be able to work faster.

I experienced something weird on my Android tablet. It had been turned off for several weeks and then when I turned it on, it rebooted. Previously, it was just in sleep (standby) mode. But after rebooting, I noticed that the entire device was reset to its factory defaults. All my apps were gone and everything wiped.
Then a few days later I rebooted the device and was surprised to see that all my apps were back again and everything restored as it was. I don't use any backup/restore software, so I am really curious to know how this could happen? Does Android support multiple user profiles? If multiple boot profiles is supported, can this be utilized by an app through some API?
Android does not currently support multiple (simultaneous) user profiles. If you do want to achieve this, there is an app that supports it (perhaps more than one), but it involves having a rooted device.
I have personally used this on my home tablet, and it works quite nicely, but requires a reboot to access the other profiles.

I had to accept a return on an Android app because the user told me it was not working on his Motorola Xoom. (The audio playback had some reverberation)
This is not a super high volume app, so I am not planning to go out and buy dozens of Androids to test it!
Also, it is an audio recorder app, so it does not work too well in an emulator.
How can I diagnose and correct the problem on the Xoom and in fact all other platforms, without investing a small fortune!
One thing you can do, if you're not averse to rooting, is installing different ROMs on your device. This will at least give you the chance to test on some different versions of Android and different UI skins (how many are available depends on your device).
I also read about services that test your app on different devices for you, but I'm not sure how much these cost.
