Run Android on Windows with BlueStacks

Have you been struggling to decide between Android or Windows!! well, with BlueStacks, you can have them both.

The idea behind BlueStacks is to have applications developed for different operating systems to run simultaneously side-by-side on the same computer.

BlueStacks run Android OS and its Apps on Windows-based PC by virtualizing Android using lightweight and optimized Hypervisor. Users can choose between installing Android app directly to their Windows desktop or alternatively, having the full-blown Android environment where they can instantly switch to Windows environment with one click, which eliminate the need of carrying Windows and Android devices.

Key Features

• Simultaneously run Android on Windows PC.
• Support of Android apps, users can search, downlaod and install apps from varity of App stores such as AmazonAppStore, GetJar and SlideME.
• Paid app from AmazonAppStore can be shared to multiple PCs.
• Seamless experience, users can switch between Windows and Android in on touch.
• Support wide variety of peripherals to be used in Android such as USB, camera and printers.
• Flash contents can be played, which is not full supported by Android yet.

Availability

BlueStacks software is not available yet, however alpha testing will begin this summer. You can sign up for Alpha version from BlueStacks website, and they will send you the Beta once it's ready for testing.

Drawbacks:
The only downside I can see is the lack of supporting Android Market. App from Android Market cannot be installed on the virtualized Android.

Future Look A Head
