BlueStacks App Player Beta-1

Undoubtedly delighting a lot of fans, BlueStacks App Player has finally been kicked out of its alpha stage. Users can now download the beta-1 edition of this software, decked with some more attributes.

Originally released in October last year, it has been designed to enable using Android compatible applications on gadgets running the Windows OS. The developing company had released an alpha version for a test span of three months which ended in December 2011. It is said to have garnered a noticeably large fan base from all around the world. So it only made sense to let loose a beta-1 avatar.

“You know, first there was Angry Birds on Chrome which was a big deal, then recently Steve Ballmer stood up at CES and announced that Cut the Rope had been ported to IE9 – with BlueStacks, it’s 450,000 apps coming to Windows at once,” commented Rosen Sharma, CEO, BlueStacks.

To support hardware acceleration, the new edition comes equipped with the patent-pending Layercake technology. It should enable smooth operation of apps written for ARM processors on x86-based PCs. The list includes titles like Angry Birds, Fruit Ninja and so on. The software even works with apps involving graphics-intensive engines, built for high-end tablets. It was also reintroduced at the CES earlier this year.

BlueStacks App Player beta-1 can now downloaded from its official website. The software is compatible with Windows XP, Vista and 7. It will allow Android apps to run in windowed or fullscreen mode.
