**Aadhar2011** · 25-10-2011

I have heard that the there is a way to run Android applications on Windows I mean I have heard that there is a application called BlueStacks App Player which can bring your Android apps to Windows. I want to know more about it as I don’t have much idea about the same and I also want to know that how do we use it? Is there anyone who is aware of this ad can help me out. Any suggestion regarding this will be appreciated.

Yes even I have came across the BlueStacks App Player and they are not just a simple Android emulator they are much more than it they allow you to run any Android app on your windows and that too in full screen and it also allows you to sync some of the apps that you want between the computer and the phone and even between computer and the tablet. It has a touch-based environment. It is capable of running Honeycomb apps as well and it does not affect the flexibility and power of Windows but it does not give you a direct access to the android market I mean you will have to download apps from the company’s database and as the process has been just started they have not yet made the apps paid. They have started focusing mostly on games and RSS reader-style apps and as far as I am aware you can also download the early release of the BlueStacks for free at the moment. Just check it out.

With the BlueStacks App Player (alpha) you will be able to play the android games on the full screen and you will be allowed to push the applications that you want from your phone to your windows computer and you also get 10 preloaded applications out of the box and you can also install up to 26 applications of your choice and it is also available for all the windows phone for free but then it might work slow for the older tablets.
