A few days ago there was an agreement that makes tablets with Microsoft's new operating system even more interesting, since it alleviates one of the fundamental doubts that we faced when thinking about them. The result of this collaboration brings more than half a million Android apps to Windows 8 tablets. This is a number infinitely higher than the 2.000 applications that they had so far and that discouraged the purchase of one of these devices.
Chip maker AMD processors has collaborated with the developer of Bluestacks software to carry most of the applications that we can find in Google Play to Windows 8 tablets. This supposes a modification of the processors that they thought to use in mobile devices that will take Windows 8 towards a graphic training that allows launching Android applications on these tablets.
Bluestacks had already developed a software, presented in a program for PC called Bluestacks App Player, which brought these apps to your computer. Working with AMD they have managed to get their processor cores and graphics cards to interpret Bluestack code well so that mobile applications look good on screens of this larger format such as tablets and laptops and desktops.
Now these applications can be downloaded from the AMD AppZone Store. In fact, the agreement and the evolution goes further, if you have a computer with an AMD processor with Windows 7, you can download AppZone and see Android applications already on your PC.
AppZone gives us another very important thing and that is synchronization between our mobile devices and our computer. Therefore, if we have an Android smartphone and we are playing an Android game, we can continue playing at the point that we left it on the Windows 8 tablet or on the PC and vice versa.
Bluestack software also works on Windows 8 computers with Intel chips, but it does not come from the factory, you have to install it afterwards and customize it.
