What BlueStacks does is essentially let your computer switch between running Windows and Android. Now this isn’t something that requires a reboot to change the OS, it’s as instant as minimizing a window on your desktop. When running Android, you can open up any app from the marketplace, and run it just like you would on your phone or tablet.
ah well. win7 only, but …. well I guess I’ll pay closer attention to the free apps on amazon.com…
via BlueStacks lets you run any Android app on your Windows PC – The Red Ferret Journal.
You could always just install the SDK. Lets you run Android on a virtual machine.
no shit?
No shit whatsoever. Probably not as handy as this, but it’s free, and it works. Used to use it to play that Alchemy game.
