Difference between google target APIs and target android

I am developing Android with SDK 2.3.3 using the Eclipse IDE. As you all know, in order to run my application, I have to create a virtual device. From the Create New AVD window, I see many goals. There are 2 goals for API level 10, such as "android 2.3.3" and the Google API (Google Inc). Among these goals, I am not sure which one I should choose.

My question is what is the difference between the two.

Thanks in advance Dan

The Google API includes Google Maps and other Google libraries. Android contains only the main Android libraries.

As for the choice, I would go with the Android API until I found that you need the Google API; for example, when you need Google Maps features.

There is a link to a Google API page.
