BlueStacks Releases Surface Pro-Optimized Version of "App
Player"
Announces GetYourAppsBack.com to fill widening Win8 App Gap
Campbell, CA February 12, 2013 ￜ Mobile company BlueStacks today
released a Surface Pro-optimized, officially supported Windows 8
version of its popular App Player software. The program is free to
download and can run any Android app on the new Surface Pro.
BlueStacks also announced a new site: GetYourAppsBack.com where new
Windows 8 and Surface Pro users can download BlueStacks' software and
bring any mobile apps to their device. Recently, Google launched a Get
Your Google Back video campaign that BlueStacks is paying homage to.
"We've had our users asking for a Win8 version for a long
time," said BlueStacks CEO Rosen Sharma. "Now that it's
finally available on our website we're looking forward to getting
feedback and building on the experience. The number of mobile apps
being written overall is expanding exponentially and Microsoft has not
added apps to the handful it has. Our goal is to get people more value
out of their Surface Pro and Win8 devices."
Having announced several OEM partnerships in recent months, BlueStacks
also recently passed 5 million downloads of its mobile software across
Mac and PC.
The downloads all came from the company's homepage, BlueStacks.com.
Additional download numbers via OEM partnerships have not been
released, though the company says they are healthy. "The response
in the OEM community has been as strong or stronger than the
surprising numbers we've been seeing from organic downloads,"
said BlueStacks head of Global Sales and Strategic Alliances, Apu
Kumar. "We seem to have reached a tipping point where we've
brought mobile apps to so many computers worldwide, the remaining
OEM's customers are asking for these apps also. We're the perfect
conduit to get popular programs back on the PC."
The company's site at GetYourAppsBack.com allows new Surface Pro and
Win8 PC owners to get apps from their phone and any additional apps
they want into their Win8 PC, running them fullscreen and
touch-enabled. The site went live today.
