Running Android, WebOS, and Meego applications in Windows

BlueStacks Software offers a technology that will make PC users can run Android applications on their laptops and desktops. The company previously has developed a virtualization technology to run the full version of Android operating system on x86 machines operated by Windows.



BlueStacks refused to give an explanation of how virtualization technology works, simply stating that Android smartphone is designed to enable run efficiently on a PC.

Rosen Sharma, President and CEO BlueStacks said, "This is not like running two operating systems, users do not need to switch between operating systems, only need to click the icon to use Android applications. BlueStacks Users can use the mouse to control the application, although most applications designed for touchscreen Android".

The company also plans for applications that run on other OS like WebOS and Meego can run on a Windows machine.

According to Sharma, a lot of companies interested in running Android applications installed on the PC, as this will build Android applications internally before all employees have a gadget with Android OS. This technology also allows companies to build a single application that can run on Android phones as well as Windows PCs.

BlueStacks also argued, consumers, especially young people who feel more comfortable with their smartphone than computers, will be interested in using their favorite Android applications on a laptop.
