BlueStacks, to run Android Apps on Windows


At least that's what it promises the company that developed the program BlueStacks, a system that will make it possible to run Android applications directly on computers running Windows, and it seems natively.


The program, which is still in an alpha release, will enable anyone who owns a computer or other devices with x86 Windows installed can download and run programs from Android, so almost transparent to the user.

In the words of Rosen Sharma, CEO of BlueStacks (free translation):

Our vision is of a completely new kind of experience, which supports consumer interest in Android and also allows them to access some of the most valuable applications, enabling them to use their favorite device for work and play.


Things that just make a free license for you ...
Scheduled to have a final version of the end of next year, BlueStacks work on any computer, notebook, tablet or netbook running Windows x86 architecture, and function normally with both devices with support for touch, and through other input devices, such as keyboard and mouse.

And what is the advantage of running Windows apps from Android? Well, if you already have an Android phone and like a particular app, you can install a copy on your Windows and use it from there. Moreover, depending on your taste, you could even have a Windows installation without any native program installed, only the Android apps. Developers can also benefit from this news, since now they will have a much larger amount of users buying their apps.

As the program is still in alpha version, it is really difficult to say whether he will be able to accomplish everything it promises, even without loss of performance. But if you like and want to know more (or even if you want to test the program), visit the BlueStacks.
