Now, enjoy Android apps on Windows-poly tech mate
HOUSTON:
Soon many of you will have a chance to add applications from the most popular
mobile operating system, Android, to the most popular desktop system, Windows
and enjoy technological marvel, thanks to the Chipmaker AMD and Bluestacks.
Advanced
Micro Devices (AMD) and BlueStacks have teamed up to let consumers run Android
apps on their AMD-powered PCs. BlueStacks, creator of a Windows app that
enables you to run Android apps on Windows, has joined forces with AMD to bring
their cross-platform application to AMD-powered tablets and PCs.
The
two companies have teamed up to bring 500,000 mobile Android apps to Windows
PCs through the AMD AppZone Player starting Thursday.
AMD is also working with its
partners to pre-load the the BlueStacks Android App Player on AMD-powered Windows 7 and 8 laptops, desktops, and tablets.
If
you don't want to wait for a new PC you can download the master Android on
Windows app, AMD AppZone Player.
Or,
you can simply download an Android app from the AMD AppZone and it will
automatically install the player in addition to the app.
The
partnership between BlueStacks and AMD, which has invested in the software
company, focuses on optimising Android apps for AMD-powered Windows devices.
While
Intel-powered PCs can access Android apps through BlueStacks' original Windows
software, the AppZone Player is optimized for AMD's GPU and APU technology.
Manju
Hegde, corporate VP of Heterogeneous Applications and Developer Solutions at
AMD said, "BlueStacks' cross-platform innovation bridges the Android and
x86 application ecosystems, providing new opportunities for developers and
better experiences for users.
"By
collaborating with BlueStacks we are enabling software developers to more
easily tap into the full capabilities of AMD's products, and providing millions
of consumers with great experiences as they can now run Android apps on AMD
powered devices."
BlueStacks
is an AMD Ventures-backed software company that enables Android apps to run on
notebooks, desktops, all-in-one PCs, slates and tablets.
