This is mainly for applications that only exist in mobile version, and we love to have in desktop version, that's what he wants Bluestacks, and what for the moment is getting, well being to our knowledge, the only company that is successfully achieving this. Certainly, the market is yours; your project is going well and covers some needs in users. We will be playing so much talk, and so far good, Bluestacks.

On Windows, the project was launched in late 2011 also with just a handful of apps, and a few months later and thousands of apps could run android, so in Mac -- expect the same and THE DEVELOPMENT go fast to enjoy as soon as possible favorites our apps.
