Using Android Apps on a Windows 8 Tablet | Pocketnow

Опубликовано 2 мая 2012, 13:00

You may remember seeing Joe Levi's video about using Bluestacks software to run Android apps on a normal Windows 7 PCs and that was very cool, but I thought it would be fun to see how the same software works on a Windows 8 tablet... especially since we can expect a number of new Windows 8 tablets to be released later this year. Take a look at the video below to see how it works. Now remember that this is an unfinished beta software program running on an unfinished beta Windows 8 operating system running on an old HP Touchsmart TM2 tablet from before the original iPad was released. The Bluestacks software has some GPU acceleration driver problems on this tablet and operating system so the display is a bit slower than it normally would be, however Android apps do still run alright. Sometimes it freezes up and you have to reboot the Bluestacks software, but that is to be expected for a beta program.
