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.
