    Ever thought to try out an Android app without the need to buy a device? Or an iOS user and often wondered how the other guys live? The BlueStacks is to meet your needs.

    It’s basically virtualization for Android. Install BlueStacks on your Windows machine and the software allows you to run an instance of Android right inside the app. From here the experience is just like having an Android device – except the phone calling thing.

    Virtualization is nothing new, Its there for years with VMware or Parallels but this is the first time a mobile operating system has been invited to the party. Head over to the BlueStacks website for more updates.
