Android apps to run in Windows with BlueStacks

While the BlackBerry Playbook supports Android Apps, the little green droid is now making its way to Windows Platform. BlueStacks has announced that it is developing a program which lets you run Android apps in Windows environment seamlessly. At the present moment, BlueStacks is readily bundled on ViewSonic ViewPad 10 Pro tablet and they working with various PC vendors towards making it a standard for upcoming Windows tablet and all-in-one desktops. Strangely Windows Phone 7 is not in the picture.

With BlueStacks, you are able to run both Android and Windows simultaneously and it even supports multi-touch on touch screen computers and Windows tablets. If this is done right with acceptable performance, this will expand the choices of apps for Windows tablet devices. Currently, we are still not convinced why anyone would run mobile apps on desktop with non-touch screens. Looking at the future, this opens up opportunity for Android developers to develop mobile, tablet and desktop apps in a single environment.

It is not officially available right now but you can sign up for their alpha program on their FaceBook page here. Check out their official website for more info.
