Several companies I work with in the PC space was wondering if I heard of this new company called Bluestack. These PC OEM was interested in this special case because the intelligent people in Bluestack Creative has developed a software solution that allows consumers to perform fully experience Android on their Windows PC.
Is this a gimmick or is it useful?
You can read this and ask "Why would someone want to use Android on your Windows PC?" It would be a valid application, as Android is developed touch user interface of a smartphone or tablet. At a deeper level, but to say that the Android does not include desktop or notebook?
BlueStacks truly believes and has begun to solve. This is an exciting, that make Windows-based computers because it gives them the opportunity to participate in the Android ecosystem. If you have an Android phone or tablet, you may want to use and is experiencing many of the same applications used on a standard Windows desktop by itself.
Another interesting and valuable opportunities for the application on Android opportunities for Windows developers. Right now, developers creating applications for the smartphone and the concentrated in tablet mode. Soon, they may also be targeted in TV through Google TV. If BlueStacks happened, and we see the ship Windows-based computers in volume in the software developers can now also be used on desktop and notebook computers as well as to create applications that are specific to the platform and hardware.
How it works
What Bluestack developed is very clean approach to provide full virtualizes Android Android OS and Windows runs on x86 PC. They threw me through a demo on a 28-inch HP TouchSmart all-in-one PC. No need to dual boot, and he ran the full version of Android 2.2 seamlessly. It loads as a virtual OS, and you can switch between them seamlessly. A user may be a Windows application and the collapse of the taskbar and open an Android application, use it, then hide the taskbar for later use. Multi-tasking between applications Android and Windows applications have been one of the most compelling demo.
Even more impressive is that it uses all Windows utilities and drivers. For example, you are in an application for Android and the need to print something. You just go to the top menu bar and click print and use the Windows printer drivers. Or if you're on a Skype application for Android, which uses Windows drivers to handle audio or video calls.
There is no access to Android Market, but because of restrictions Google placed around how someone is certified to the Market. Bluestack have a viable solution with the App Store Amazon, but that takes place on the Android Market, in their implementations. Currently, the solution is not publicly available, but Bluestack said they plan to release their software for anyone to download later this year.
Conclusions
Microsoft has to worry about this because it could part of its operations that are working specifically to compete with Android. It could also put a brake on future development of Windows software, if consumers prefer to start using Android applications instead of software for Windows.
Intel and AMD should be very happy about that because two of them need to offer a compelling reason to see Android on X86. As PC makers are concerned, this company could have helped you instant access to a portion of the market that were excluded from everything. I am excited to see what hardware manufacturers and software developers are in place, as we see with Bluestack solution on the market.
What do you think our readers? Does the idea of running Android and Android applications on the desktop or a boost?
