The alpha test of BlueStacks ran from October through December of last year, and included a more limited app selection. We are excited to work with BlueStacks to make the emerging Android mobile apps market part of the broader computing arena, especially given that the beta-1 version has been localized for 10 different countries." It also leverages the advanced graphics capabilities of AMD APU and GPU platforms," said Manju Hegde, corporate vice president, Content, Applications and Solutions at AMD (NYSE: AMD). " LayerCake is a disruptive technology that enables PC manufacturers to bring the best of the Android ecosystem to their customers. Apps designed for high-end tablets that use graphics-intensive engines such as Unity can also run on the new platform. These latter capabilities were not part of last year's alpha version. This includes apps written for the ARM processor like Angry Birds Space and Fruit Ninja, as well as apps that use hardware graphics acceleration.


LayerCake enables Android apps to run seamlessly on x86-based PCs. The beta-1 version incorporates the company's patent-pending Layercake technology. The software supports Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7, and enables Android apps to run in windowed or fullscreen mode on PC. BlueStacks announced the availability of the beta-1 version of their App Player for PC today.
