Thanks to the folks at BlueStacks, you can now run your favorite Android Apps on your Windows PC! The BlueStacks App Player, which is still in its alpha stage, lets you run several preloaded Android apps, install up to 26 others, and sync apps from an Android phone to your PC.
Installing the app might take a few attempts. But after it has been installed using it is a breeze. The app places an Android gadget in the upper right corner of your screen. Clicking on the gadget opens a menu from which you can launch any of the preloaded Android apps, including Bloomberg News, Bubble Buster, Words Free, and Drag Racing, along with six others.
The apps themselves launch in a full-screen virtualized version of the Android operating system, so they run smoothly. The only obstacle that you might encounter is that since the apps are designed for a touch screen device, running them on a desktop computer with keyboard and mouse would be a bit of a pain. Using a laptop with a multitouch pad would be a better option though. Overall, the integration with Windows via a simple desktop gadget proved to be clean and seamless.
