I understand that ODK isn't set-up for data submission by anything
other than an android device. However we would like to be able to fill
out the same forms from a standalone computer. Does anyone know if
there are any clients that could do this?
Thanks in advance

dan,
this is a long standing request and we've been thinking about building
an html5 (and device independent) version of collect. until that
happens, take a look at http://code.google.com/p/purcforms/. it should
be able to send xform data to aggregate from a browser. you could also
run collect in an android emulator, but that tends a miserable user
experience.
yaw
You might also want to checkout touchforms, which can do this in a browser.

android emulator, but that tends a miserable user
experience.
Any reason why? I know the startup time is rather miserable. But once
it's open, is there anything else? Keboard and mouse would work, and
perhaps with 3.1 the screen could be made big and not too oppressive?
Just curious what exactly is the most miserable.
Thanks.
not just on startup (you can now snapshot and give it more ram), but
in processing forms, saving instances, etc. typing feels like it's
going at 300 baud. you can't capture multimedia or gps. you can view
multimedia but it's takes seconds. doing anything with hardware
buttons requires knowledge of magical keystrokes. oh, and it eats cpu
and ram (and thus battery life). actually, it kinda reminds me of
eclipse 
i've got a 2.8ghz core 2 duo with 8gb of ram and a ssd hard disk and i
think it's miserable. i can't imagine it'd be fun on anything less
powerful. but you don't have to take my word for it. try it or check
out http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1554099/slow-android-emulator
for hints on how to make it go faster.
