I’ve barely met a person or two who love Macs but prefers to run with an Android handset instead of an iPhone. They’re a rare breed, but they’re out there, supposedly.

After much testing and a 3-month Alpha run, BlueStacks has announced the availability of the beta-1 version of their App Player for PC.

Their new patent-pending Layercake technology allows these apps to run seamlessly on x86-based PCs and leverages the advanced graphics capabilities of AMD APU and GPU platforms. Simply put: you can run your Android apps on your PC.
