The beta software release is of note because it now allows desktop PCs to run graphics-intensive Android apps, accelerating them to a degree that prior iterations of the software just weren’t capable of. And today, BlueStacks is pushing forward with its next major release, the beta version of its App Player, which is chasing the ambitious goal of bringing the some 450,000 Android apps to those billion-odd PC users out there.
Accompanying the App Player was Cloud Connect, a cloud-based service that allows PCs to become an extension of any Android-based mobile device - and vice versa. The Series B followed closely on the heels of the alpha launch of its App Player for Windows - a free software download that gives users one-click access to Android apps on any Windows PC, along with the ability to view these apps in full-screen. Not to mention the startup then raised another $6.4 million a few months later from AMD and Citrix Systems, with contribution from existing investors like Andreessen Horowitz, Ignition Ventures, and more. Why? Because it’s developed software designed to let Android users run their apps on all Windows PCs, tablets, and laptops - without any modifications. Ever since a pre-launch BlueStacks raised $7.6 million in Series A financing, the startup has been attracting attention.
