Those of you who want to check out an Android App without an android device can now run that app on your PC thanks to a program from the folks at BlueStalks.
The software, dubbed the bluestalks app player, has just hit the alpha stage meaning a test version of it is now available for anyone to download . The basic player lets you run you several pre loaded apps, install up to 26 others, and sync android apps from your phone to your PC.
I installed the app player on a PC running windows 7. the installation failed the first time around, but the second attempt proved successful , the app places an android gadget in the upper right corner of your screen. Clicking up on the gadget it opens up a menu from which you can launch any of the preloaded android app, including Bloomberg news, bubble buster, words free and drag racing, along with 6 others.
The apps themselves launch in a full screen virtualized of the android OS, so they run smoothly, the only obstacle i encountered is that since the apps are designed for a touch screen device, running them on a desktop computer with a key board and a mouse was less then ideal. Using a laptop with a multitouch pad was defiantly an improvement. Overall, the integration via a simple desktop gadget proved to be clean and seamless.
To send apps from your android or tab, to your PC you’ll first need to download Bluestacks and install it on your mobile. Entering a unique pin in the app then set up a connection on your PC, allowing you to push over your apps from your device.
for now the app player supports only Windows PCs. The company is working on mac version but concedes that it may be a while before one is available.
